110 km/h

The Goverment of Spain has recently adopted a package of energy measures. One of them is reducing the maximum speed limit on highways and motorways, insted of 120 km/h the vehicles can now "only" go on 110 km/h.
The goal of this reduction is fuel in the short term required by the oil crisis in nord Africa.


The Goverment has indicated that this is a temporary measure and will enter into force on the 7th of March, so they have to change urgently all the road signs that mark as a speed limit of 120 km/h.

Putting into operation this measure, the Spanish Goverment believes that there will be savings of 15% in fuel and 11% in diesel.

    I think this measure will increase the quantity of fines/penalties because during these month there will be a lot more controls, but not change the pollution or stop the climatic change.
    In my opinion, to change this big problems like pollution or the climatic change, they should adopt more radical measures, like reducing the maximum speed a lot more, lower prices for public transport, etc. but it seems to be quite impossible for all to change our mind.
