专家认为车辆以50km/h撞击行人时，死亡率为50-80%。
1990年代，NSW和VIC两省将小街限速从60降低为50，令道路事故死亡率降低了15%。
Researchers from the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) are proposing nation-wide 40km/h speed limits for local streets, down from the current 50km/h.
Mariana Alexander and Dr Mark King from QUT’s Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety (CARRS-Q), believe the speed reductions for local streets will save lives and create more liveable communities.
Alexander said: “We say 50km/h is too high for local streets, which is why we are seeing 40km/h speed zones around schools and shopping areas introduced all over the country as local governments respond to public demand for lower speeds”.
“The latest Queensland road crash statistics show a disturbing trend of increased fatalities and serious injuries for pedestrians and cyclists.”
Alexander added that local streets are typically categorised by their mix of traffic, which includes vulnerable or unprotected road users such as pedestrians, cyclists and people on motorised mobility scooters.
