@Alex_Verbeek ... it's #UsThePeople, too. Majorities are simply not going to vote for a party telling them to stop eating meat, stop flying around the globe, and stop subsidies for the #OilAndGasIndustry so gas at the pump will become more expensive... At least in democracies politicians must win votes to govern.
We are were we are, because this is what the majority of people wanted .. whether it's #Christofascism or #Speedlimits on the Autobahn... Accountability starts with everyone of us! #WeAreIt

For much of his migration, #Bishop swam through waters where the lack of #SpeedLimits makes #vessel strikes more likely.

In 2022, the #Biden admin proposed expanding that area & applying speed limits to smaller #vessels….

The proposed expanded boundaries have been embraced by scientists & advocates, who say it could help save #NorthAtlantic #RightWhales from #extinction. But NOAA Fisheries, the agency behind the proposal, has yet to finalize the rule, which is still being reviewed by the WH.

@BrentToderian #US #SpeedLimits within #CityLimits make no sense whatsoever, amd I'm from #Germany...

But maybe that's because we don't allow cyclists on highways and have actual driving schools and mandatory driving exercises as well as exams??

Ecen tho that means a driving license for a car (Class B) costs like €2k minimum and if one wants to drive a extended bus (Class DE) one is likely on the hook for €10k on top of the car driving license...

@floledermann this kind of data feels to me like something, that's best maintained in #Wikidata, where it could properly reference legal changes, look-ups of historical values would be possible, could be linked to all relevant entities and up-to-date information could be queried whenever it's needed.
