That is how that works, and will should any location increase FWTY allowances. Heavy vehicles on the other hand, on say a 130km/h signposted length of road, remain speed-restricted to 100km/h owing Australia Road Rule 25, and 'other requirement' such a speed-limiters - where so applied. Here, the truck, like the L, P1 and P2 licence holder, remains limited to the lower speed for those seperate regulatory reasons. OT News: NT Road toll for 2008 to date, now at 64 compared to 2007's 38 to date result, which in turn was a decade-high result at that years end. 2008 is year two of NT's adoption of speed-limits over speed derestriction (//), done - along with demerit points, red light cameras, a new highway patrol zzzzzz. The new lower driver requirement leads to complacency and carelessness, fatigue..... http://www.ntnews.com.au/article/200...05_ntnews.html

Because we have restrictions on L's and P's as well as heavy vehicles, then this would be a feasible option, and would be seen as a positive step forward to freeing up our heavily restricted roads and freeways. I have been lucky enough to have driven on the freeways in Southern California and I can say that at times the traffic, not just myself, was travelling safely at 85+ mph. This did not happen in the more built up areas around Los Angeles but more like closer to the Palm Springs area. This is a little off topic I know but if they were serious about speed creeping, then they would look at all of the options available, not just a blanket one rule fits everything mentality, or we all will be driving at 30 k/ph by 2020 because that will be the only way they figure that they will be able to keep us safe oh and help the government to keep revenue growth up as well. |
