Mr. Sam Waide:

I will pass over to my colleague shortly. This is an important point for elected members, particularly newly elected members in local communities. One of the Deputies earlier flagged the increase in the number of pedestrian fatalities. I often walk along roads that do not have a footpath. The Road Safety Authority continues to provide research as to what is the impact. Some 29% of pedestrians struck by a vehicle travelling at 50 km/h will be killed. However, if the speed is reduced to 30 km/h, some 5% of pedestrians who are struck will be killed. We have provided and continue to provide the research to councils.

That is our role. The Department mentioned the speed review. We provide that research. That may not necessarily answer the Deputy's question on what level of monitoring is in place if a new speed limit is implemented.
