Italian regions allowed to lower speed limits to reduce pollution
Italy will allow its regions to lower speed limits on highways and motorways passing through or near urban areas struggling with high air pollution, according to a government decree that took effect on Wednesday.
A new law that is part of the decree says speed limits may be reduced temporarily or permanently "in case there is a need to limit emissions from vehicular traffic in relation to levels of pollutants in the air".
