A lot of busy roads commonly slow to this speed anyway when it's busy, and with traffic signals, flow can actually be better at low speeds. <br /><br />ALso, 40kmh is great. Above 30kmh, the chances of a car impact killing a pedestrian start to rise exponentially. Some councils (Yarra, at least) are lobbying VicRoads to allow 30kmh speed limits in appropriate areas. That might be good for some streets too.<br />Ben Courticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196734156358125286noreply@blogger.com
