Target speed limit zones
The proposed 80kph speed limit on secondary roads is just plain daft if it is more than just a money-raising scheme.
Why not use some imagination and incentivise it. Impose the reduced speed limit in the worst areas and review every three or four years.
As the problem areas are likely to be the more highly populated, this scheme could leave the majority of the country unaffected allowing a significant budget saving.
