THE THIRTY KILOMETER PER HOUR REGULATION, BACKGROUND AND REASON

DE 30 KILOMETER PER UUR REGELING, ACHTERGROND EN AANLEIDING

An explanation is given of the 30 kilometer per hour regulation in the Netherlands, the immediate reason for its introduction and how can it be used. The regulation is not only considered as a speed limit, but above all as an instrument to reduce noise in residential areas. This is why there are conditions for the application of the limit; these conditions are explained. An account of the discussion that followed the lecture is also given. For the covering abstract of the conference see TRIS 393882. (TRRL)
