Default Re: Crashes increase when speed limits dip far below engineering recommendation

My father was part of setting the speed limits on some sections of NSW roads forty years ago. I remember tales of ad-hoc limit setting; the road engineers would have a fang, the coppers would have a bat, then they’d try to butt heads and agree on a limit that was safe/reasonable. And before then, in the golden age of freeway planning, a notion that the roads being penned, would one day enable drivers to travel safely at 100MPH.
