Push for 30 and 40km/h limit on all Victorian streets Alex Rae A healthy walking advocate charity, Victoria Walks, is campaigningto introduce reduced speed limits across Victoria and the widening of current school zones. The key targets are shifting the current 50km/h speed limit on local streets down to 40km/h, and from 40km/h to 30km/h in "busy pedestrian areas", such as shopping strips. The group states that there is research showing two-thirds of all Victorians want lower speed limits on local streets: “We know 66 per cent of Victorians support lower speed limits in neighbourhood streets” says Executive Officer of Victoria Walks, Ben Rossiter. "This would make it safer to walk to schools, shops and public transport”.
