    Most of his critiques are of US infrastructure, so it would have been nice to have the conversions in the video:

    30 km/h = 18.6 mph

    50 km/h = 31.1 mph

    60 km/h = 37.3 mph

    88.5 km/h = 55 mph

      You can roughly remember it as:

      • 20 mph = 30 km/h
      • 30 mph = 50 km/h
      • 60 mph = 100 km/h

      but thanks for the precise numbers.
