Following a review of the speed limit along West Bridge Road and a section of Kinglake-Glenburn Road (from the front of The Gums Camping Area to West Bridge Road), Council will apply to Regional Roads Victoria (RRV) to reduce the speed limit on these roads from 100km/hour to 80km/hour.
This application follows a community consultation where the community's views were sought about the change. The majority of submissions received were in favour of a speed reduction to 80km/hour. A number of community members wanted the speed limit reduced further, to 60km/hour. However, RRV has indicated that it would not support this further reduction, given the road's location is in a rural setting with sparse development.
If agreed by RRV, the speed limit reduction to 80km/hour is likely to occur in the coming months.
