Tallinn city government is adjusting speed limits on several key streets to improve traffic safety, raising the limit on Kaarli puiestee and lowering it on Nõmme Street.
The Tallinn city government has announced changes to speed limits on various important streets in response to current traffic conditions, aimed at enhancing road safety. The speed limit will be increased to 40 km/h on Gonsiori Street, Estonia Boulevard, and Kaarli Boulevard, where the limit has mostly been 30 km/h with few exceptions. Meanwhile, the speed limit on Nõmme Road will be reduced from 50 km/h to 40 km/h, although the 30 km/h zone near Kristiine Gymnasium will remain unchanged.
These modifications reflect a growing emphasis on safety within the urban traffic management strategy in Tallinn. The adjustments to speed limits are part of a broader initiative to align regulations with the actual traffic circumstances, thereby promoting safer driving habits and reducing accident risk in busy areas. The areas affected are known for high pedestrian activity and public transport routes, which further necessitates careful consideration of speed regulations.
The proposed changes will be executed with the assistance of the city’s partners, which highlights the collaborative effort in managing urban infrastructure effectively. By increasing the speed limits on certain streets while decreasing them on others, the city aims to balance traffic flow with the need for enhanced safety measures. Overall, these adjustments signify Tallinn's commitment to adapting urban policies in accordance with evolving traffic dynamics.
