Basically, at the national level....it's been agreed upon that tempo-30 (meaning urban areas can be easily regulated to a max of 30 kph instead of 50 kph) will be the norm.
If you read through all the rule changes....the fed guys are handing the responsibility of speed management, creation of bus and bicycle lanes....over to the local folks to manage themselves.
No one is saying that all of Frankfurt or Wiesbaden will be 30 kph....just that various areas will go down in speed.
I should note here...if you venture into the inner-part of Mainz....it's been maxed to 30 kph for about a year. I'd take a guess that more than 80-percent of the city is a max of 30 kph at present.
My only negative? In the case of Mainz....they quickly went and added blitz cameras (I won't suggest double, but it's definitely a noticeable thing now), and you have to pay a lot of attention to traffic. Added to this....people on scooters probably exceed the 30 kph a great deal.
