That is EXACTLY what happened to Caloundra road up here the coppers had field days hiding behind the bridge overpass with the radar guns. Ever since they finally made it 100 again have never seen a copper on that road.
All for Safety though lol

Regarding the speed limit; there are two types of people who get picked up; genuinely safe drivers who have human lapses of concentration and get done for doing 66 an a 60; and aggressive drivers who don't give a **** about the speed limit, and get done for 75+ in the same area. It is a sad thing the law does not make allowance for intention. The legal principle of 'Mens Rea' (i.e. your knowledge of you doing the actual act that was a crime) would be an interesting thing to try out for lower level offences.....

yes, fully agree. Some people have no idea how how fast they are going (incompetent) whilst others choose to break the law.

(still doing the maths mod bloke - but we do not all like numbers it seems...)

Calder Freeway - was dropped to 80kph for roadworks. they never put it back up. every day atleast 50% of the users (from whenever im on it sticking to the limit) are easily speeding anywhere up to the old 100kph. the parts that have no emergency lane are 80kph for specific reason. but youde wonder why it wasn't sped back up. the 80 signs used to have a little tab under it saying "roadworks" and they just took that away. absolute joke.

the Calder was kept at 80kph after the roadworks finished for peak hour congestion, my bro in law lives out there and he said its working and traffic flows alot better, no more carpark at on/off ramps. If this is the case, than why not have a variable limit, just like school zones.. Its a smooth and easy stretch of road, better than when it actually hits 100 past calderpark.
