- In Australia, the speed limit on Melbourne’s rural and outer freeway network was increased from 100 km/h to 110 km/h in 1987 and then changed back to 100 km/h in 1989.
Compared to a control group (an area where the speed limit remained the same), the injury crash rate per kilometer traveled increased by 24.6% following the change from 100 to 110 km/h, and decreased by 19.3% following the change back to 100 km/h.
When speeds reduce, everyone wins.
