Speed limitsThere is no such thing as a good or bad speed. Its the context the speed is being used in. Nudging up the speed limit by 10kmh on some roads could reduce congestion and improve productivity by ensuring the quicker movement of freight especialy on the newest and safest roads New Zealand has one of the strictest speed regimes. Australia, Canada and France all have motorway limits of 110kmh, while Britain's is 70mph, or about 113kmh. On Germany's autobahns, there are no speed limits, although drivers are advised to stay under 130kmh. The important thing is to make sure that the speed limit is aligned to the risk that the road represents.
