Accelerating active transport with 30K speed limits
The topic of 30km/h speed limits in neighbourhood streets encompasses the potential benefits for road safety, public health, and community well-being. By examining best practices, international context, and Australian case studies, professionals can gain valuable insights into this road safety intervention. Furthermore, discussions on community education and engagement strategies contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the subject.
Host: Engineers Australia
Presenters:
- Rod King, Champion for 30km/h and 20mph default speed limits
- Dr Soames Job, Global Road Safety Solutions
