Drivers New York City will have to drive more slowly Friday. The city has introduced a new speed limit 25 mph (40 kph). The old limit was 30 mph (about 48 kph). The new law will apply to 90 per cent the city's streets. The city's Department Transportation hopes the lower speed limit will make people drive more carefully and reduce traffic accidents and deaths. The city's mayor, Bill de Blasio, said he wanted to improve traffic safety and end pedestrian deaths. He said: "There's a real consensus this town that we need to have people drive more carefully, more safely and slower the protection our kids, our seniors." Other people say the limit will make drivers angry and increase accidents.

Road speed limits are used most countries to set the maximum speed cars, trucks, buses, motorbikes, etc. They can also set the minimum speed. The first maximum speed limit the world was the 10 mph (16 kmh) limit introduced the United Kingdom 1861. The highest speed limit the world is 140 kmh (87 mph) Poland and Bulgaria. Some the world's roads have no speed limit. Perhaps the most famous these are the Autobahns in Germany. In 2006, German police said the average speed one part the Autobahn was 142 kmh (88 mph). The World Health Organisation (WHO) said that around 1.24 million people die each year traffic accidents. This number could fall if people drove more slowly.
