Many major European cities already implemented this, and I've yet to hear of a single one where it turned out to be "a big mistake". Can anybody from these cities report (e. g. Helsinki or others)?

Madrid did this. Massive fail, basically no one was going 30km/h, if you did (which I used to, just to fuck around) you could expect lots of honking and comments about your mother. It was reverted shortly after
