We are consulting on proposals to lower speed limits for a number of local roads in Richmond:

• Narrow or winding tortuous unsealed roads reduced to 60km/h. These are rural unsealed roads that are winding and/or narrow, generally the alignment of these roads is classed as tortuous.
• Rural residential roads and peri-urban streets reduced to 50 or 60km/h. These roads provide access to residential properties, but at a lower density than urban residential areas.
• Urban roads which do not have footpaths reduced to 40km/h. These are roads in residential areas that do not have footpaths.
• Specific roads. There are several roads where we have community groups and residents advocating for lower speeds. In Richmond, the specific roads are:
  • Lower Queen Street (unsealed Great Taste Trail section
  • Aniseed Valley Road (section)
  • Clover Road East (section)
  • Clover Road West
