A barrage of opposition to a Geneva plan to bring in a blanket 30 kph limit on many streets means it’s been delayed.

It would cover around 300 different roads.
The motoring organisation the TCS has launched a legal appeal against the idea, as well as other political parties, including the Swiss People’s Party.
The TCS says there’s no evidence the limit would cut noise – and it could slow down public transport and emergency vehicles.
