Northern Territory, 1 January 2007, No more (//)

[Keepleft]

This date sees NT's new rural default 110km/h and signposted 130km/h speed restrictions take effect, replacing the (//) allowance.

To date, the opposition CLP has stated their intention to re-enact (//).

I am suggesting they do so only on NT's key safest highways, rather than the previous blanket open methodology. NT locals must remember this restrictive episode of brilliant NT Labour activity come NT election time in two or so years.

Lives saved will only arrive because of the actions now taken against drink and drug offences, not because of the removal of the (//) allowance in totality.

Removal of speed derestriction will worsen on-road behaviour and manner as drivers begin to feel the pinch of new powered police activity, as they react to that. Speed derestriction (//) removal, will result in increased bunching-up of traffic, and hideous overtaking times against road trains, as otherwise safe drivers the day before - are dumbed-down to the level of inner city extreme socialist activist and drug addict.

I'd like to hear from any NT resident ticketed for 'exceeding the speed limit' on a road to which is posted a remaining (//) sign.

Any (//) speed derestriction signs remaining - *must* be removed. If your NT local, and know of a sign, note its EXACT location (address or GPS) and I'll ensure that's it gone. It can ONLY be replaced again on NT's "safest lengths" of road once CLP come to power.
