Data collected by the Brisbane City Council’s Speed Awareness Monitors has revealed that over 50 per cent of drivers were speeding across Brisbane in 2017 to 2018.

South Brisbane and Bracken Ridge were indicated to be worst areas for speeding, with thousands of motorists disregarding the visual warnings from the established Speed Awareness Monitor.

The initiative by the Brisbane City Council did however show promising signs, with two in every five motorists reducing their speed when alerted by the SAM signs.
