It looks like instead of pinging carelessness, we will soon be keeping people to the speed limit.

With the reducing of speed limits being pulled, at least this will give another way to reduce the impact of crashes.

Unlike the comment on reddit saying this won’t reduce crashes, I’m going to point out that it’s not designed to. Road to zero is about recognising crashes will happen, this move is about reducing the damage when crashes inevitably occur.

    That ignores that they are specifically targetting the highest risk roads, which would likely increase the likelihood of being in that 15%.

      15% is 1 in 6.

      Seems like a 1 in 6 reduction would be a great thing.
