*If* speed limiters are required how will it affect you?

to you maybe

Yes, although the speed limit in parts of the Northern Territory is 130 kmh (81 mph), but has had no speed limit at different times in recent years, but NEVER for heavy vehicles

 

I'll much rather drink room temperature Foster's... vs having to try to choke down a cold bush light or Miller lite

 

I am not trying to be an arsehole, but how come it can work here, but you believe it won't work there?

On our freeways (M class roads) the speed limit is 110, but HV's are limited to 100 kmh, overtaking is easy as they are multi laned roads

On A or B class roads the speed limit is 100 kmh for everyone, HV's and cars, although some A class roads do have a speed limit of 110 kmh for cars but 100 kmh for HV's. Northern Territory has 130 kmh for cars for one of their A Class Roads.

A & B Class roads in the smaller States will have regular overtaking lanes. In the bigger more wide open States overtaking lanes are less frequent, but traffic density is generally lower



In the alphanumeric systems, a letter denoting the route's construction standard and function is prefixed to the route number, creating an alphanumeric route designation. One of six letters may be used:

• "M" routes are primary traffic routes, called motorways in some states. These are typically dual carriageway, freeway-standard highways, but may also be used for rural roads that are nearly at freeway-standard, or at least are dual carriageways.
• "A" routes are other primary highways, including urban arterials and interstate or interregional single carriageways.
• "B" routes are less significant routes, either as an alternative to an "A" or "M" route, or linking smaller population centres to larger regional centres, but without being a major through-route in the region. These are the major road links in areas without "A" routes.
• "C" routes link smaller settlements and towns to the rest of the major road network. They are used for roads without the significance of an "M", "A", or "B" route, but where numbering would assist navigation.
• D" routes are detour routes. These are only used in New South Wales with only two routes and
• "R" routes are ring routes only used in South Australia with only one route
• "ALT A" routes are alternative “A” routes only used in Queensland

 

I do remember Foster's Freeze when I was a kid.
No choking down that stuff... it was great.

 

Are cars and motorcycles speed limited to…..

around here if your in the left lane car or truck and doing 80 mph your holding up traffic….lol

 

yes, but by the manufacturer, but not to the mandated speed limits

you have the freedomes we don't. I posted above the reasons why we have lower limits, I get the frustrations, I really do

Look at our Nullabor Plains (Eyre Highway), it has the longest stretch of straight road in Australia, the road stretches for 146.6 kilometres (91.1 mi) without turning, and is signposted and commonly known as the "90 Mile Straight" - Eyre Highway - Wikipedia

The Stuart Highway that links South Australia to the Northern Territory is long with bugger all traffic, this is the road that has had no speed limits in the past but is now speed limited to 130 kmh for cars and 100 kmh for HV's - Stuart Highway - Wikipedia

Well you have nice spec’d tractors but they need more wheelbase lol and I don’t get not having a sliding 5th wheel…..

And we suck but that’s another matter…. And here it’s basically lack of enforcement the whole road is doing 90 mph

 

we are governed by prime mover (tractor) length and trailer(s) length. I see some of your prime movers (tractors) and can't believe what I am seeing, they would never get around some of our streets.

Some do have sliding 5th wheels (turntables), particularly trucks hauling over dimensional loads

When you have to get that load of strawberries from Watsonville Ca to Hunts Point Thursday morning and they slammed those doors on that shiny hiney Monday afternoon, a speed limiter would really make a lot of people happy!

 

Correct, but I also know that it triggers Aussies. Just playing because you seemed to be getting hot.
