Security or money?

Since the first of January the roads around Barcelona have decreased the speed limit from 120 km/h to 80km/h, the Catalan government says that this is because of security reasons and to help reduce pollution. The idea may seem a good one, but when you see 4-line by side highways empty in the night you may start thinking, which change does it make? In fact, most cars in Catalonia have stick gears, so to go at 80km/h most cars need to reduce a gear, what it makes them pollute more than if the top speed was, for example 100km/h.

Instead it seems the only reason they have to change the limit speeds is to make even more money from the car drivers. Just look at the video, it's amazing, almost each single car gets a speeding ticket and they are not going fast at all. This is a shame for Catalonia.

I am not sure jbgood, but I believe it is in the access to Barcelona from Santa Coloma de Gramenet or the one from Mataro.
