We have a 30 km/h zone

We have a 30 km/h zone but it's like a motorway sometimes in the evenings. Otherwise a nice neighbourhood to live in, nothing wrong with it, but many single people in a single-family home, which I think doesn't match the housing construction, while there are plenty of people with children looking for a home.
