The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine will reduce the maximum allowed speed in Ukrainian settlements from 60 kilometers per hour to 50 km/h starting January 1, 2018, according to Cabinet resolution No. 883 of November 10, published in the official government newspaper Uriadovy Kurier. It is noted that in most EU countries, the speed limit in settlements does not exceed 50 km/h, while the limit is even dropped to 30 km/h in certain areas. The adoption of the corresponding bill will bring the national legislation closer to that of the European Union.
