due to smoother traffic flow the average speed was only reduced by 0.5 kilometers per hour.
Yeah, I wish people understood that, or even thought about it. So many seem to just speed by default. I’ve gotten some weird looks when I told that I always go 10 km/h below the speed limit on certain roads, because you get stuck in a slowdown anyways.
If there is any slowdown between you and your target, then driving fast will just get you stuck behind it sooner…
It’s just like carheads not understanding that good bike infrastructure would be actually beneficial for them as we because it means less cars (and bikes) on the road, so less congestion overall. Everybody wins!
