Submission: Setting of speed limits

Read the PHCC submission to the Setting of Speed Limits 2024 consultation.

We lay out the evidence from our Briefing - Increasing speed limits defies the science - more deaths and pollution predicted. 

Increasing speed limits, as proposed, will increase the number of severe injuries and deaths on our roads, increase environmental pollution and negatively impact community wellbeing and equity.

There is a growing evidence base internationally that supports lowering speed limits as best practice.
