Time based speed limits are downstream of the insane law that says local gov must provide a justification for 30 km/h speed restrictions. There have been efforts for years to introduce a "local gov has to provide justification for 50km/h" or even Just "local gov is free to set speed limits"

Time-based speed limits in Vienna pretty much are a thing in districts with pro-car district mayors only.

Time-based speed restrictions, typically implemented around schools during school hours, are also common in North America. Often with flashing lights and all the usual flashy paraphernalia that engineers here love so much

A popular demand (which I'm not a fan of) among urbanists here is to impose nighttime-only speed limits on the Gürtel road (3-4 lanes per direction with an el in the median and mostly dense housing without setbacks on both sides)
