This is good news…
Ever driven through an empty road work zone at night and wondered why you still had to slow to 40 km/h?
It’s one of the most common driving frustrations people have raised with me over the years.
From 1 July, temporary road work speed limits must be removed outside work hours when it’s safe to do so. If changed road conditions still require a lower speed limit, the signs stay in place and drivers must continue to obey them.
It’s a practical, common-sense change that improves fairness while keeping safety first.
