traffic at 20 mph emits less noise than that at 30 mph.
another good reason for going 20 mph.
Someone filmed drivers in Copenhagen driving at 20mph during a heavy snow, there was very little noise from the tyres compared to driving at 30mph.
It would make the city liveable instead of having HGV thundering by at 40mph on theobald road at night.
Driving on fresh snow is very quiet compared with driving on tarmac, I don't think the speed was the main differentiator in that situation.
