Eggfluetunnel: after protests, the pace is back to 80 from September

The Eggfluetunnel, a major highway tunnel in Switzerland, will revert to a speed limit of 80 km/h starting in September after protests against higher speeds. This decision comes in response to public concerns over safety and environmental impact raised by local communities and activists. The change follows a period during which the speed limit was temporarily increased to 100 km/h, a move that sparked significant opposition. Authorities had initially proposed the increase to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion, but faced strong backlash. As a result, they have decided to roll back the measure and restore the lower speed limit.
