English-Danish translations for speed limit

• hastighedsbegrænsning
  Der er hastighedsbegrænsning for tung trafik og for transport af tunge ting, derfor skal vi også have en for personbiler. If we can have a speed limit for heavy goods vehicles, why not have one for cars too?
  En sådan hastighedsbegrænsning vil formentlig forhindre en tredjedel af alle trafikdrab på fodgængere og cyklister. Such speed limitation would probably prevent a third of all deaths of pedestrians and cyclists.
  Jeg glæder mig ligeledes over, at en fælles hastighedsbegrænsning for denne type køretøjer ikke er blevet gennemført på EU-niveau. I also welcome the fact that a single speed limit for this type of vehicle has not been introduced at EU level.
