Increased maintenance is an unseen consequence of speeding!
Tyres and roads wear out faster at higher speeds leading to frequent tyre-changes and recurring road construction. Tyre and surface wear also releases more heavy metals and microplastics. These particles don’t just go away, but find their way into our food and water.
Long-term exposure to microplastics and heavy metals has proven to increase endocrinal, gastrointestinal, respiratory disorders and even cancer. Slowing down is not only a way of caring for infrastructure but also caring for our own health.
