The absurdity of the proposal is already in the title, and shows how motonormativity is spread all over the world.
Berlin has a very good public transit system, and a few 30 km/h zones cannot be that bad.
I would love to hear opinions from someone who lives there!

Yeah, plenty of those about. Have fun getting past that caravan, only to find a tractor in front of it, or one of the locals in a Range Rover two inches from your back bumper who is annoyed that you’re not flying around a blind bend at the speed limit.
I like the 60mph roads with the nice dry stone walls alongside. A guy I work with hit one a few winters back. It bit into his bumper and spun him like a top. Those things were built to last.
Yep, experienced both on that trip. Except the oncoming vehicle was the garbage truck, and I had a taxi behind me.
And the stone wall street was terrifying. It had about a hands breadth of green growing on it that made it look more harmless.
