The introduction of 30km/h speed limit in all roads of the city will make the city safer for more people to walk and cycle.One of the main objectives is to make it easier for children to engage in active travel by walking and cycling to school.

Lowering speed limits and lowering the speed differential between the active modes and motorised traffic will contribute to enhanced safety throughout the city.

The introduction of 30km/h speed limit in all roads of the city will make the city safer for more people to walk and cycle and will also assist in making the city a safer place for everyone.

Road accident statistics show lower speeds result in less fatalities, less injuries and severity of injuries with motorists benefiting most. A 10km/h difference in speed could be the difference between life and death for a vulnerable road user like a pedestrian.
