Lord Mayor Graham Quirk has announced a speed limit reduction on Ann Street from 60 to 40 kilometres per hour in response to the council’s pedestrian safety review.
Opposition councillor Jared Cassidy said the speed reduction is a step in the right direction, but more needs to be done.
Cassidy said the speed limit should be reduced to 30 kilometres per hour, as research suggests the rate of fatality is almost completely eliminated at this limit.
