Meanwhile, in Tallinn, Estonia, a recently refurbished street has sparked debate among locals and social media users. The €14-million project on Lastekodu tänav included traffic-calming measures such as raised intersections, new sidewalks, cycle lanes, and a reduced speed limit of 30 km/h. However, Deputy Mayor Kristjan Järvan has criticized the project for being confusing and unnecessarily expensive.
