It's called 15 min cites.. time to revolt and take a stand Australia 🇦🇺

Such a speed limit is ridiculous! It's also a money-sucking exercise!

1984 Getting Closer Every Year.

"Well, they need the money they have promised to Zelensky."

Remove by any means the apparatus that wants to have control over you. Don’t wait for things to get really bad..because it will.

Go slow enough and they will charge you with illegal parking.

It is all just to piss you off. Slower driving speeds use more petrol.

Driving at 40 kmh ? When we consider the price of fuel you may as well walk. Absolute nanny state.

Cars are most efficient in their top gears. Reducing speed limits will just destroy the planet faster...

All about revenue - nothing about safety. It is a Labor government - what else would you expect.

These are the types of issues that cause an overthrow of a government/ council

NSW (National Socialist WowserLand). Once a Penal colony always one.

Same old nonsense happening here in the uk

Street racers from America must stand with our Aussie brothers. Stay strong.

Another way to slow down production and destroy the economy its wef policy

It's to discourage people from going to work at all .

The reality is the slower you go the less attentive you are.

When will a politician will balls push to increase speed limits?

they want you to get out of your car and push it

Cars with internal combustion engines are much less fuel efficient and more polluting at 40kl;mh that they are at 50klmh and 60klmh

Bicycles are allowed to go faster than cars😂

The slower the car goes the longer it produces emissions it will run longer to get to your destination.

Ok here we go! Aim: Make driving vehicles in cities a pain the butt or illegal. Buy EV to save emissions in big cities, Pay less tolls/fees etc. In near future EVs and petro vehicles end up paying the same tolls/fees to enter city, because EVs cause excessive road wear, whatever. Then restrict personal vehicle travel to cities via smart cameras. Then vehicle free zones times enacted. Then vehicle free zones mandatory 24/7 Then promote 24/7 smart cities Then progress to 5 minute cities restrict pedestrian access out of designated precincts.

It is ! It's for discouraging people to using their cars

Its to raise revenue. You go from a 60-40 zone they get you for 20kms over the speed limit. 💯

Higher speed limits on a highway have shown to be safer. People tend to pay more attention at higher speeds.

With all the speed cameras they put in not enough revenue for this pigs can never get enough

Too many 'Change of Life' Women on these Committees that make these Nanny changes. Anybody with life in their veins is deminished to their low level of thinking.

Safer for pedestrians ? Roads are made for cars, not for pedestrians. Educate pedestrians to look where they're going and not focus on their mobile phones.

Jesus Christ. When I left Sydney in 2013 it was 60km/h throughout the CBD...

It has the potential to increase frustration, aggression on the road.

I like how they say safer for pedestrian but do not put in foot paths.

😂 So what? Sydney’s a ridiculously costly, traffic choked dump. Anything crappy they layer on now is just absorbed in the existing 💩 pile.

If they were truly worried about pedestrian safety, they should BAN unlicensed road uses from the road and footpaths. Yes, I am talking about bicycle and e-scooter users. I have been in more near miss accidents with the bicycle and scooters as a pedestrian then a car. Especially those bicycle riders who believe red lights don't apply to them. If they want to ride on the road like any other road user, they should have a licence & pay registration. Instead, they receive every perk without having to pay a cent for it.

The Vic state government must need money. Most of the main roads in my area have had their speed limits slashed

There is a need to encourage (educate) pedestrians and cyclists to take responsibility for their own safety.

Not everyone can ride a bike or walk to their destination. The elderly, those with debilitating health conditions, cancer etc. This is unconscionable. Sky - point out the issue that NOT everyone is ABLE to ride a bike to reach their destination for many reasons.

Correct they want you to buy a car but not use it.

The proliferation of 40 km/h limits is for Labor to get extra revenue. It's is getting more taxes. it also ruins productivity by causing delays to business that is not paid by the taxpayer which can just be wasted by governments where productivity and effectiveness is totally out of the question. The other hidden danger is many of these concrete strips that are specifically designed to damage the wheels of cars if one accidentally travel over one of these. With the EVs they can damage the battery which might mean the EV needs to be written off which means that the councils installing these traps on city roads might be shooting themselves in the foot through stupidity of not understanding the consequences of the road mess that is created in and around the CBD.

40KMh is common in many NSW country town CBD's, the constant traffic problems in Sydney make reaching 40KMh in the city near impossible anyway.🤨

Cycle down a busy street carrying a step ladder......

The same nonsense is happening in Brisbane. The city has a department of traffic obstruction which is wasting millions of dollars of ratepayers money on speed bumps, chicanes and lowering speed limits on good wide arterial roads. The 40 km/hr school zones around schools with their own designated traffic lights are also farcical and simply waste motorists’ time and exacerbate congestion. Numerous cycle lanes are almost empty for most of the day. The council should be widening roads in a city with a rapidly growing population. Presently it is doing exactly the opposite of what it should be.

Whoever increases the speed limit gets my vote

About four years Portland Oregon (USA) got special dispensation from the state legislature to reduce speed limits by 5 mph across the board, to reduce pedestrian deaths. Guess what? Ped deaths went UP! With cars going slower, more peds thought they could beat the car. The real issue is the police NEVER ticket pedestrians for jay-walking, walking against the light, etc.

Trying to get more speeding fines. And pedestrians that have earphones on should be held accountable

Not enough money from speed cameras now they are doing this the 2000 extra cameras not doing its job

I live in a 25kph zone, no one takes any notice of the speed limit whatsoever.

Is there anyone in power/politics doing anything about this nonsense?

That’s what they did in some villages in the U.K.!

Soon 30 and then 20. Yes bike lanes are empty but of course there are lots of cars. Yes the woke councils are real

The main problems with commuting is the lack of planning by the states, cities, and councils. Everything is planned for the next few years, not the next century. Also everything is piecemeal, making traffic co-ordination difficult or impossible.

Brisbane has been doing this for the last 5 years, there are 50 and 40 zones all over the city on major roads.

In general I am all for giving people options. Bike lanes and the like take very little space and can in theory relieve a lot of traffic. The problem is almost no one uses them because Bike lanes are poorly designed, unsafe and start and stop randomly through out your city. Leading you to almost no destination you want. When you get there good luck on finding any kind of place to lock up your bike. Even if you do, bike theft is insanely common and the Police treat it as basically a non crime. You file a report and nothing happens.

Car is granting freedom

They want to **PUNISH YOU 😂😂IN CERTAIN AREAS 😂😂** Comedy Gold on Sky/Fox...

Next news headlines NSW residents leaving Sydney CBD due to state government being nutcases 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😉

Next , like London and inner city tax on cars! Wait for it!😊

You need a Trailerbus that takes bikes and mobility scooters on busy roads with a 30km/h default limit on unsignposted roads.

Oh look... more 'Nanny' state penalties. My god, when I think of all the places wherein the speed limits should in fact be INCREASED.

There is one reason they want your money through fines. It has nothing to do with speed because this type of going after the money has been around since the beginning of motoring

fine, more bike lanes, bigger cycle culture, congestion charge, london.

Because drivers are less competent, and there are more cars!

The do not care about people, they breed hamsters.

Revenue raising scheme.

Drive anywhere in Sydney. The speed can't be much more than 29khr around the town. Why not add 100 dollars to the rego and make Public transport free?

The roads would be safer for cyclists if I wasn't having to keep looking at my speedo every 200m for speed limit changes.

Its easier to inconvenience the tax payers, than what it is to fix the roads. We are becoming a 3rd world country bit by bit. Fix the roads and cut emissions

It will also increase their revenue through speeding fines.

They won't be happy until we are all wearing bubbles.

Don't want people speeding put more speed signs on roads. You can go for 1 or 2 km on a road without seeing a single speed sign.

Sell your car and buy a horse

They reduced the limit to 30kph in the Christchurch CBD (if you can call it that) and spent $300m (so far) on new cycle ways, narrowing a lot of roads and removing on street parking spaces in the process. All it's done is clog the roads, make congestion far worse, and discouraged people from going to the city at all unless they absolutely have to for work. Central city retailers and eateries are suffering because many people just can't be bothered - it's much easier to go to a suburban mall because it's far easier to get to and you can park for free right outside the door. The latest hare-brained scheme is to reduce a major arterial road to the airport from 4 lanes down to 2, put in yet another cycle lane, and install an extra 9 sets of traffic lights with sensors to give cyclists priority to criss-cross the road on their contra-flowing cycle lanes. Because everyone taking a flight wants to ride to the airport with their suitcase strapped to their back, especially on a 2 degree winter morning.... Many city fringe or semi rural roads that used to have a 70 or 80kph limit have systematically been reduced to 50 - they simply lay a footpath and then redesignate it as a suburban road as a means of justifying it, even if the footpath then never gets used. We now literally have farms around my area that now have flash footpaths outside that have never seen a soul (or is that sole?) on them... Sorry about the rant - I remember Sydney's 60 and 70kph outer urban speed limits very fondly from my time living there, so it's a shame to see that vehicular utopia perhaps coming to an end.

Watch the LEZ and ULEZ signs start going up.

if you add bike lanens that can make streets narrower and make it needed to slow down ; but it also puts bikers next to cars a very dangerous thing; a better way is to have dedicated paths with few auto conflicts. IF it were really about trying to cut CO2 they should require carpooling and cut CO2 overnight - and increase speeds.

old pac from cowan to brooklyn got dropped from 80 to 70 overnight... no signs or notices that i saw. how about all teh dead end rural roads that went from 80 to 50 overnight? then after a few weeks, endless court appearances by locals, they went back to 70... only a few years ago did they finally scratch the "80" off my road... its been 60 for nearly two decades. the roads are falling apart, theres no driver training, theres more and more new drivers that have never operated any form of vehicle EVER. single lane roads, bottlenecks, only a few "main arterials" that every week have extra lanes removed and turned into bike paths and bus lanes... despite being less than an hour from the CBD, the closest shops with a petrol station is 20km away... we still have one or two unmarked roads that are technically "derestricted"... good luck actually DOING the "state limit" of 100... yet strangely enough it was no issue at all twenty years ago, before the roads were even SEALED... theres also the extreme opposite in some places, rather than going too slow... liberty street in newtown.enmore last time i rode it was still 60... a single lane goat track full of roundabouts... marrickville actually scares me, its rare to actually do 60 there... bella vista, beuna vista drive is absolutely insane with its treelined median strips, roundabouts, twisting hilly road, and street signs written with 8point fonts... as much as i LOVE syd enfield drive, whats the point when it then hits moore park rd, cook st, oxford st, all at 40? and up the other end... council st? bondi rd? then at night time, these two lane roads, devoid of life... and youre expected to crawl along being "safe" doing 40 when you could quite safely do 120...

I never drive in the CBD in Sydney. I only ever catch the Metro at this point.

Please don't let this air in the U.S. this current circus ring leader and his clowns like to follow other countries with clowns running them.

Horse and cart perhaps

Dear brothers and sisters a humble effort at mine....

You make a heck of a lot of claims about things "not making a difference to safety", you have a lot of "just so" stories but absolutely no data. You don't know what speeds kill people. You don't know the rates of people using bikes. You don't know how to accommodate population increases to areas. You don't know how much roads actually cost to maintain. You want non-drivers to subsidize your use of your private vehicle? Nah, you wanna use your private vehicle you can use the private toll roads and the private parking garages. Public tax should go to building public infrastructure that anyone can use and makes more of Sydney more accessible to all. If you don't want to acknowledge that you actually live in a CITY where population density means there is literally not enough space for enough roads for all the cars, go and live in the country, or support public transport and other measures that dissuade driving so that you can be left all alone on the roads.

Going slower.. slowing traffic down.. drivers spending longer on the road stuck in slow traffic with the cars turned on.. smart.. like so smart.. that is more polution and don't the same people in charge say they want to reduce that very polution but certainly not with nuclear power??

Just buy a Farrari and drive it by only idling from stop to stop. More economical than an EV.

OUST the OVER-REACHERS......NOW !

Easy to fix them council...stick together and dont pay tham anything

That the no#1 issue

*20 MPH will generate more CO2 Great for the Planet !*

Okay lost me at 1:10 that guy is such an idiot. "You can't get hit if you watch where your going"... ignores the blatantly obvious "You can't hit any one if you watch where your going". Kind of people that view they have the right to do what ever they want and every one else has to watch out for them don't deserve to be on the road.

Sure, it will save a few lives, but millions will be late.

just drive in reverse... hey officer, i'm not speeding, it's -60km/h "forwards" :) *George Carlin - Driving* 🎥

Well I won't use my car, at least around Sydney because I won't go there and spend money. :-P

Go to the city on a Friday or sat night, the place is completely dead. Use to he able to park somewhere and go out. Basically from St James down to the harbour and east of college st, forger driving around

Look who they get to interview lol

Motorised scooters, works in Asia.

Getting a tradie to ride their bike to their in the city with all their tools on their backs lol 😂

Dan has a way of dealing with bike riders! Dare you😊

i CANNOT BELIEVE that you only now discovered this. Sorry about the caps
