Laws regarding speed limits have evolved to enhance road safety and adapt to changing traffic conditions. In many regions, speed limits have been adjusted based on factors such as increased vehicle performance, urban development, and advancements in road safety technology. Additionally, some jurisdictions have implemented variable speed limits that adjust in real-time based on traffic flow and environmental conditions. These changes reflect a broader trend towards using data-driven approaches to improve road safety and efficiency.
