Mildura Rural City Council is expected to ask for public feedback on a 30-km speed limit in the CBD.
A 12-month trial finished up last month, lowering the speed limit within Deakin Avenue and Pine Avenue, and between Seventh and Tenth Streets.
Deakin Avenue and Seventh Street were not included in the trial.
The city says it’ll put together input from the community before any final decision is made.
Meanwhile, we are being reminded to drive with caution, as National Road Safety Week gets underway.
Each year about 1200 people are killed and another 40,000 seriously injured on Australia’s roads.
In 2023 there were 295 lives lost on Victorian roads – the highest number of deaths in 15 years.
Police identified basic driving errors contributed to more than half of last year’s fatalities and are urging people not to make the same mistakes behind the wheel.
Behaviours such as low-range speeding, low-level drink driving, failing to obey road signs and distraction, like using a mobile phone while driving were major contributing factors to fatal collisions.
