Speed limits around two of Brisbane’s major hospitals may be lowered under a citywide push to improve safety in areas with high pedestrian numbers.

The Brisbane City Council is looking to implement  a “Move Safe Plan” around the Mater Hospital in South Brisbane and Queensland Children’s Hospital in Woolloongabba.

A Gabba Ward Councillor hopes to lower the speed limits to 40 km/h and for wait times at crossings to be reduced.
