flag Australia may lower rural speed limits to reduce fatalities on dangerous country roads.

flag Australian authorities are considering lowering the default speed limit on unsignposted country roads from 100km/h to improve safety in regional and remote areas, where road fatalities are 11 times higher than in cities. flag The review focuses on introducing lower limits for sealed and unsealed roads, addressing poor road conditions and aging vehicle fleets—averaging 11.4 years in 2024—due to financial pressures. flag While electronic stability control is mandatory in new vehicles since 2011 and 2017, many older cars lack this safety feature. flag The government has not announced specific changes but is seeking public input through a consultation open until October 27, 2025.
