The Department of Transportation has discovered that as of December of the year before last, the average driving speed in Taipei was still over 20 kilometers per hour. This fell to 13 last year; pessimistic estimates say it could go as low as eight km / hr this year.
台北市政府交通局資料顯示，前年十二月以前，在台北市開車平均時速還可以達廿公里；到了去年，平均時速為十三公里；今年開春以後，由於捷運等工程的施工，已有人很不樂觀的預估，平均時速很可能會低於八公里﹘ ﹘跟小跑步的速度差不多了。
