I don't know german, does that account for road type? I know the tire noise in my car is freaking horrible on the lousy plain concrete highway, but drops off nicely as soon as I hit any nicer material.
Why boo? Reduced speed maps to vastly reduced pedestrian death and injury, encourages increased bicycle road share, and allows reduced lane sizes which increases the usable land in urban environments.
The speeds in the article are in km/h, not miles/h. Residential zones in Germany are 30 km/h, larger inner-city roads are usually 50 km/h, so this very much applies to cities too.
Booo... Booo skrause. Boooo.
