@sunflowerinrain@mastodon.online @BrentToderian@mastodon.online Where I'm from in Denmark, the loud opposition's excuses are "Slowing down traffic causes socio economic losses for all of society as people spend longer going from point A to B" "Cars aren't built to go this slow, they have more rotations per minute in their motors at 30km/h than at 50, this is just causing excessive pollution, just like when you don't provide parking spaces and make us circle around the block, emitting until one becomes available" "It is not cars that are a danger to people it is the cyclists, running against traffic, running red lights, speeding, Cycling distracted while looking at cellphones, Not being attentive cause they listen to music in their earbuds, they're the only ones that need lower speed limits, max 20 or 10km/h, required drivers licenses for cyclists, ban on e-bikes and speed limiters on all bicycles" Of course all of these excuses are Bullshit but they completely drown out the debate here, its awful!
