EDIT: changed article link and title to comply with rules (that I didn’t read 😛). The article that is linked now, links to the previous one (this one https://www.rbb24.de/politik/beitrag/2025/06/senatsverwaltung-verkehr-berlin-tempo-30.htm), and the title is the google translated of the new article, as close as original German as I can
The absurdity of the proposal is already in the title, and shows how motonormativity is spread all over the world.
Berlin has a very good public transit system, and a few 30 km/h zones cannot be that bad.
I would love to hear opinions from someone who lives there!

May I ask what area you were in? Because there are many restaurants that are not near streets a lorry would usually take (esp. at those speeds).
And I don’t really hear (or see) the traffic in most parks I vistit.
I don’t remember perfectly, but between berlin mittel (got that from google maps, city-centre just north of the Sprée) and a bit to the north I think, still inside the city centre.
Tiergarten has a fucking motorway cutting it in half BTW 😅
Come to Paris for a change, there it’s the people who will annoy you, not the cars 😁
