40 km/hr in the city from June 20!

[j3rk]

Just received a note via work that main roads will officially change the speed limits in the city and NB to 40km/hr from June 20 onwards.
Work seemingly blocking me from uploading the picture so can't throw up the banner.

Yay for going even slower in the city!

[Chrono90]

Awwwwww F*ck!

[thommo]

atleast it will be 35km faster than it has been with these bullshit road works

[stormtrooper]

40km/h on brake is enough for you though isn't it Paul ? :D

[Adam]

Post the pic

What do they classify as city? includes east perth surrounds? if so, gay

[Fozzy]

Who cares?

I mean its not like you often do over that in the city anyway. 95% of people are only driving there in peak hour. Will be interesting to see what the boundaries are though.

[Mad_Aussie]

Well in 143 days when this CHOGM bullshit starts, it's going to drop to 0kph.

[Tocchi]

i dont mind, i go slower than that when perving on hot chicks wearing business attire, just means im less of a road hazard :p

[thommo]

also makes it much easier to take in the surrounding eye candy

edit: ahah tocchi we think alike !

[Ryan1080]

I got it in my work email too, fuck all change really, it's just the CBD, as in all the roads from Hill Street to the Freeway, and from Mounts Bay Rd (not included) up to Wellington Street (part included from Barrack to William). Also all for William Street in Northbridge from Newcastle street.

[Nickevox]

40km is perfect, i always roll through the city at 35/40kms anyway

+1 :D

No need for speed in the city.

[MISS 13B]

Perth City is that fucking small that you'll be out of it after 5 minutes of driving anyway.

[TJ]

No complaints.

[mr_mike]

fuckin un-australian dam nanna state, i wanna be allowed to do 50kph even tho its always to busy to do more than 20kph i dont care thats not the point

[duste]

Exactly, it makes absolutely no difference.

You can almost guarantee the majority of people complaining about this are the same people who cut in and out of traffic during peak-hour along the freeway, all to get home those few seconds earlier or, in some cases, hours later because they caused a crash.

[Ryan1080]

Is this even news worthy? The only time you can ever do over 40kays per hour in that part of town is when the city is dead with no pedestrians available to be ran over...

They're better off introducing digital speed signs like in Mt. Lawley. Adjust speed destrictions depending on time. Also a much better ideal completely blocking off the streets crossing through the centre of Northbridge on Friday and Saturday night. Even 40 through there can be completely dangerous when you got people swaying around in their own little world.

[Torquen]

No complaints.

x2

[Sevan]

+1 do you think anyone will actually notice?

[[Jacek]]

I like it, will be 20% less crazy when i ride my bike through there next time.

[S_E]

I don't know, the only time you go over 40 is when the city is empty, therefore it's pretty unnecessary.

[crabman]

Damn, now I can't do 100kph without getting hoonlawe

In all seriousness this would have been the decent thing to do, 40 during peak times, 60 after hours along the main drags like St GT. Slightly complaining as it sets a dumb example for speed limits in sometimes more busy areas, but not really as I never drive through it. If I need to go I take a life gamble and catch the armadale/thornlie line train in

[angry_viet_man]

fkn LOL cant say i dont do it as well =)

[thrtytwo]

as said, boo fuckin hoo. If you speed through the city your asking to cause an accident

[protecon]

The Today Tonight AL trolls are not going to approve of the reaction in this thread.

I don't see the point of driving through the city anyway?
The only traffic there should be buses and taxis.

for those who want more info...

Was hoping they'd include kings park road downhill into St Georges...

Top speed runs on the drift trike smokey nagata spec, would be worthy of a chortle or two

[MISS 13B]

Going up that hill towards Kings Park Road is hardcore. I had a thrashed as fuck hire Getz when getting the MPS serviced. Foot to the floor and I was barely managing 50km/h!
