The real root of the problem, IMO.
That is certainly a contributing problem. But while I couldn’t find any schools along arterials in Amersfoort I did find a few along collector roads which also have a 15km/h limit.
While I prefer a car free city, if we aren’t to have that we do still need to at least stop obsessing about speed. (Of course the ion rarely exceeds 40km/h along the arterial rd long and nobody cares a damn about that).
