The new NSW Speed Zoning Standard has now been published on the Transport Standards Portal, superseding the NSW Speed Zoning Guidelines 2011
Speeding is the biggest single factor involved in road deaths, contributing to around 40% of road fatalities each year in NSW. This Standard is critical to implementing a safe systems approach to road safety and keeping us on track to achieving our aspirational goal of zero trauma on the NSW road network by 2050.
The NSW Speed Zoning Standard now provides a greater level of detail on setting of safe speed limits, particularly for low-speed environments, increased community engagement and alignment with current frameworks and strategic documents.
Most importantly the Standard will support the delivery of the Towards Zero Safer Roads Program which is estimated to significantly reduce road trauma in line with targets to halve deaths and reduce serious injuries by 30 per cent by 2030.
The NSW Speed Zoning Standard is available on the Transport Standards Portal.
Transport for NSW values its partnership with local government and look forward to continuing to deliver safer roads for our communities. If you have any additional questions, please contact your Transport for NSW speed zone representative.
