Helsinki records zero traffic deaths for full year

"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.

For dumb Americans like me - that 18.641 miles/hr.

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

And those with that intention are authoritarians that need to be kept out of government.

Authoritarian has a definition, it's not just "people who make laws that keep me from doing what I want."

People in the USA still complain in the same way today about laws mandating seat belt usage, but it's still not authoritarian. It's a net positive for the wearer and everyone around them, and it's incredibly childish to push back on something for no other reason than because someone is telling you to do it.

>It's a net positive for the wearer and everyone around them

This is literally the argument autocrats use for any authoritarian law they pass.
