There are some roads around here that have had some (fatigue related) fatal accidents, so what does the RTA do, they lower the speed limit from 100kph down to 80kph.
Now thats all well and good (in theory) when its late night or early morning, when the traffic is low and you can actually do the speed limit (or more), and someone who is fatigued nods off at the wheel. The reduced speed limit in these situations are bound to be a positive factor for a head on or a collision with a tree etc. But, during normal hours, when the traffic is heavy and you have your usual inept drivers plodding down the road at 10kph under the speed limit (now doing only 70kph). With no overtaking lanes and little overtaking oportunities, is it really the safest option? :togo: |
