Drivers in New York City will have to drive more slowly. The city has introduced a new speed limit of 25 mph ( about 40 kph) . Do you know the old limit? Well,let me tell you. It was 30 mph (about 48 kph) . The new law will apply to about 90 percent of the city's streets.
The city's Department of Transportation hopes the lower speed limit will make people drive more carefully and reduce traffic accidents and deaths. The city's mayor is Bill de Blasio. He wanted to improve traffic safety and end pedestrian (行人) deaths. He said ," There's a real consensus (共识) in this town that we need to have people drive more carefully,more safely and slower for the protection of our kids and seniors."
Road speed limits are set in many countries. The speed limits are used to set the maximum speed for cars,trucks,buses,motorbikes,etc. The World Health Organization (WHO) said that around 1. 24 million people die each year in traffic accidents. This number can fall if people drive more slowly.
About the new speed limit,different people have different ideas. Most people say that it is a good traffic rule. They promise to obey the new rule. In their mind,the new rule can reduce traffic accidents and deaths. But not all the people agree to the rule. There are some other people who have the opposite view. They say the limit will make drivers angry and increase accidents.
