Unlike all the places where it can’t go very fast because the people in charge won’t let it go faster.
Fair point. I happened to be going through today so I recorded the speeds on Google Maps. Ignore the navigation, I used car trip to get the speed to show up but I think it shouldn't affect the accuracy.

I didn't record after the station but it also got up to about 40km/h, slowing down to 10-15km/h for the bends. So a 30km/h limit would technically slow the trip down a very small amount.

As for 40km/h, I think the thing that makes it less likely is the overly conservative operational safety policy which means they often operate the tram at more than 10km/h below the limit.
See above to remove some speculation from your discussion. At least the operator I had today went by FDB at roughly 40km/h.
