"More than half of Helsinki’s streets now have speed limits of 30 km/h."

This is the only secret.

People over speeding is what kills.

Making drivers miserable is part of the intention, they want people to drive less because it's annoying as hell for everyone else.

The intention is to prevent accidents. Encountering 30kmh zones in strange places means there have been loads of them.
