Reducing vehicle speed offers significant benefits to safety, health and the environment - improving amenity, reducing dust and leading to fewer and less severe accidents.
Speed Limit changes have a number of legislated conditions, and processes that need to be followed.
Information about speed limit changes can be found here under the sections on 'Speed Limit Changes' and 'Speed Signs'.
