flag Australia cancels plan to reduce rural speed limits, citing opposition and regional concerns.

flag Australia has scrapped plans to lower rural speed limits on sealed and unsealed roads, ending a proposal that would have reduced the default 100 km/h limit to 90, 80, or 70 km/h. flag The move follows strong opposition from farming groups, transport operators, and regional leaders who warned it would raise freight costs and delays. flag State governments cited concerns over a one-size-fits-all approach and their authority over local speed settings. flag The decision was welcomed by opposition leaders, who urged the government to instead focus on fixing deteriorating regional infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and telecommunications.
