Quotes from that article:

The minister's motto is "faster where possible, slower where necessary" [...]

The possibility of increasing the speed limit on other motorways will be examined over the coming months. [...]

As of 1 July 2012 the minister also intends to abolish 4 of the 5 80 km/h zones around the four biggest cities of the Netherlands, where the maximum speed limit will be increased to 100 km/h again.

Simply the right attitude! Learning from experiments, implementing consequences.
That minister isn't much of a greenie, is she?

It depends on which area you're talking about. They went full-speed ahead with wind farms, water transportation, rail freight and clean vehicle subsidies.

There is nothing much green about lowering speeds for the sake of lowering them. It is usually just an excuse to make car alternates such as trains or buses more competitives by slowing automobile traffic

That is an interesting one! Or did I miss a declaration of independence?

...not to mention a very long causeway.

Interesting, the out of town speed limit is different in the Azores than on the mainland
