Liveability, Walkability and Driving Speeds in Taiwanese City Planning

You couldn’t go over 100 even on highways here… traffic and road design simply do not allow it. And most cars here wouldn’t go over 50kmh on the roads. Not only it’s unsafe traffic also don’t allow it even at the best of times.

When you see news of some car crash here in Taiwan they often say “going 100kmh” like it’s some breakneck speed. Cars in America routinely do twice that.

Scooters here go 70 or more as they pass me in the scooter lane when I m going 60 (makes no sense in the city with all the stop lights but thats the way it is), outside the cities they can and do go faster <ask a young person how fast he has gone on a scooter.
