Reviewing speed limits on high-risk regional and remote roads has been on the road safety agenda since at least 2018, when the National Party held this portfolio. In fact, the first priority action under the National Road Safety Action Plan 2018–2020, agreed to by the member of Riverina, was to review speed limits on high-risk regional and remote roads in consultation with the community. The consultation currently underway on reducing default speed limits is being undertaken by the minister's department to inform a regulatory impact analysis. It does not constitute government policy, but it is a usual process we undertake on various issues.
