Default 80kmh suggested speed limits on unsealed country roads

Quote:
Call to lower country road speeds to 80km/h

The proposal to reduce speed limits on tens of thousands of kilometres of country road follows a 2018 report by the International Transport Forum that studied data from 10 countries including Australia.

It suggested any country road without a median barrier should have a 70km/h speed limit.

The report found that crashes, injuries and fatalities decreased when speed limits were dropped and speed camera use increased

What an absolute joke, I live out in Boganistan and traverse 30km worth of a country highway every morning, it already has flogs doing 80km/h in a 100 zone holding everyone up.

Imagine if they dropped the speed limit to 80km/h? They'd be doing 60 instead.

Might be riding my carbon neutral unicycle to work sooner than I expected
