In one of his video Rick Hartley says signals with fast rise time can cause EMI/EMC issues.

When watching a few videos about stackup, EMI and impedance (especially this video from Fedevel Academy: [video]), I got confused how to compute trace impedance in the case of two signal layers between ground planes.
