The last time I was sprung for speeding was doing 58 in a 50 zone
It was on Shepherdson Road Parafield Gardens
I rarely venture to this part of Adelaide , and did not know it was a 50 zone
Fortunately I was only doing 58 thinking it was a 60 zone
PROPOSAL FOR METROPOLITAN ARTERIALS ?
Changing of speed limits here there and everywhere can be confusing, well they are to me
I have a proposal , fairly simple in concept, perhaps harder to administer
Segregate all arterials to Roads v Others
The following limits are what I suggest
All Roads : Minimum 60kms
All Others : Maximum 40km or 50kms, one or the other
That would be simple logic
You would have to rename a swag of arterials from roads to streets though[and vice versa]
Shepherdson Road would become Shepherdson Street [or raise the limit back to 60 and leave it as a Road]
60-70 KM ROAD ZONES
Also confusing
The example I will use
Montague Road Ingle Farm
There is a speed camera set up in the 60 zone near the corner of Beovich Road[Near the Ingle Farm Shopping Centre]
Yet Montague Road, between Walkleys road and Bridge road it is 70km
This road should be 60km for both durations perhaps ?
40-50 KM ZONES
This is most annoying
Some Streets as in Prospect and Unley are 40km zones
Yet in other areas streets are 50km zones
I suggest one or the other
SUMMARY
Less confusion , more consistency of known speed limits , perhaps = better safety , and perhaps lower road fatalities

They got me again
58 kms in a 50 zone
Woodville road Wooddville , by the train line
[Going to a WWT VST game ]
When the f..k did Woodville Road become a 50 zone ?
Yeah I live near there and it's so annoying, I still forget. At the top bit, i.e. near the railways lines there are virtually no pedestrians etc. so it's easy to forget. The top bit doesn't need to be 50.
