Driving at lower speeds is better for the climate. In a pilot study CE Delft has estimated the potential CO2 savings arising in various scenarios with tighter motorway speed limits. Lowering the speed limit for cars to 80 km/h can reduce transport CO2 emissions on highways by 30% in the longer term.

According other studies (ATMO-PACA, 2009) NOx and CO2 emissions can increase by reducing speed limit to 80 km/h if the percenatge of heavy duty vehicles is over 10% of the global traffic.
