'Hot Wheels' Hassy, what you fail to recognise is that road safety should be paramount. Your stupid distortion that its "The Greens, & increasingly the left, (who) want us back on the feudal manor, restricted to a few kilometers of our birth place, & easier to control." Ridiculous, then you prattle on about a road in your locality, more nonsense. Lets examine the facts, and not be mislead by your political drivel. Australia 1929, national road toll 1,145 or 181 per 100,000 vehicles, today (2018) that number is 1,137 or 4 per 100,000 vehicles. Should The Greens and the other evil lefties take credit for this spectacular decease in the road toll? I think not, but rather credit should go to those with the nouse and foresight to see that such things as, vehicle safety design improvements, better roads, more, not less regulation, driver education, law enforcement. Let good old 'Hot Wheels' run the show, I would not be surprised if the road toll was not 1,100 but 111,000!

Wow, the amount of panic in response to a quite reasonable plan is astounding!

As everyone's so far neglected to provide a link to the document in question, it's at http://tinyurl.com/stockholm-declaration

Now, have a look at what this seemingly contentious excerpt actually says:
10. Focus on speed management, including the strengthening of law enforcement to prevent speeding and mandate a maximum road travel speed limit of 30 km/h in areas where vulnerable road users and vehicles mix in a frequent and planned manner, except where strong evidence exists that higher speeds are safe,

Do you comprehend that?
| in areas where vulnerable road users and vehicles mix in a frequent and planned manner,
NOT on all urban roads.
NOT everywhere that's currently zoned 50.

I expect if you think about it, you'll understand what kinds of roads this applies to. Roads where there's so little traffic the council haven't bothered to construct a footpath alongside. Roads where you used to kick a football (except for some of the posters here who are so old they used to do that everywhere).

"Tis a sensible move to improve road safety, blindly opposed by the Murdoch Press, SevenWest and a the far right.

Thank you Aidan,

First thing when I saw this thread was to check the date, making sure it is not the 1st of April.

Next, I was discussing with my family what activities we will need to give up as a result, whether we could still survive and whether we should move, either out to the country-side (with all those fires, yeah) or perhaps out of Australia altogether.

Your last post brought down my blood-pressure back to normal. Thank you again.

I don't see why everyone has been thrown into confusion, I picked up on it immediately when I was the first to respond, saying:

'Hasbeen, given that you are a pretend engineer I'm sure you must find a lot of things like this extremely confusing.'

Dear Aiden,

Thanks for that.

It isn't unusual for ol' Hasbeen to beat these things to death given half a chance. It is good to have someone else give him a tug on the reins.

Dear Hasbeen,

How's it going old cock? Good. You really do need to stop thinking this is a right wing echo chamber. You will get pulled up when you try and feed guff like that.

The hole where the this speed nonsense was instigated on behalf of the UN - Sweden, which has done such a good job of allowing itself to be over run by Muslims - has had its central bank drop Australian bonds because, you guessed it, we are not doing enough about climate change.

Perhaps Morrison might bear this in mind as he is boxing his deputy's ears for entertaining another attempt from overseas to interfere in our laws. It's hard to pick the biggest offender when it comes to interfering with Australia's internal affairs: the Chinese Communist Party or the United Nations
