[HLN] DePraetere suggerisce di abbassare il limite di velocità a 100 km/h sulle autostrade belghe

Leuk idee, maar nee dank je

Weer zo’n idee van iemand die zelf nooit op de baan zit, maar enkel met het fietsje de autovrije stad door peddelt. Er zijn ook mensen die hun halve leven in de auto doorbrengen en blij zijn als ze op tijd weer thuiskomen.

I cannot recall who or wich organisation did a study around this but appearntly lowering the speed means cars will remain longer on highways wich significantly increases the chances of…files (forgot english word). Wich are way worse co2 producers.

I think its a feel good measure that impacts the enviroment little but socially it will have a massive negative impact.

But i could be wrong.

Vooruit blijft de belangrijke themas aanpakken. Er zijn zeker geen problemen die belangrijker zijn dan boetes graaien.

I suggest getting rid of Depraetere

Dwoaze kalle

Lower speed leads to smoother traffic BUT the usual traffic jams are in most cases on places where the speed has been reduced afaik. So impact on this would be limited I guess.

Pls god no… i will drive in Holland today. It wants to make eat my steering wheel this 100km/h there

This is the kind of things that can only be explained as the guy who came up with this has a 20km commute and that wont make any difference for him. Or he doesn’t pay the fines or has a chauffeur anyway.

Meanwhile the people who have to travel Belgium from Kortrijck to Liege and from Knokke to Arlon, we are fucked.

Maybe locally, for example for the section near Mons, sure. Because that’s the kind of place that has accidents everyday, because we really, really do suck at building infrastructure.

But in general? Why?

as someone who actually spends most of the time on the road, I suggest two things: a speed limit of 130 km/u and that Depraetere (whoever the fuck that is) keeps his dumb opinions for himself.
