Here's the quote on Paris:
"Several months after the implementation of this measure, a 25% decrease in the number of bodily injuries and a 40% decrease in serious and fatal crashes was achieved"
The source says "The new measure aims mainly to improve road safety and reduce noise pollution. Lowering the authorised speed on the roads allows, on average, to reduce the number of bodily injuries by around 25%. This reduction can reach more than 40% for serious and fatal crashes. "

@BrentToderian@mastodon.online So a couple things. The source is simply saying that these reductions is the **aim** of the policy. It's not worded very clearly though. Second, the source 'article' publication date is the day after the policy began. There's no time for data collection. This is why people publish in Sustainability. There's no (proper) peer review. You can publish trash. Academic publishing is largely broken. Sticking to respected journals helps (some).
