New speed limits are being implemented today, lowering limits on national secondary roads from 100kmh to 80kmh and local roads from 80kmh to 60kmh. Urban areas such as town centres will see limits decreased from 50kmh to 30kmh later in the year. This initiative is part of a broader "Slower Speeds, Safer Roads" campaign under the Road Traffic Act 2024, aimed at addressing rising road fatalities and implementing safety measures to limit damage during crashes.
The speed limit on local roads will drop from 80kmh to 60kmh, with enforcement starting today, as part of a renewed road safety initiative.
The changes aim to reduce accidents and road deaths, reversing a troubling trend of rising fatalities despite prior improvements in road safety.
