(5) The ACT Road Safety Strategy and Action Plan are based on using a range of engineering, enforcement, education and encouragement measures to encourage motorists to travel at safer speeds. Specific actions to date have included implementing trials of 40 km/h speed limit zones in Gungahlin and Woden Town Centres, expanding the sites used by mobile speed camera vans, introducing point to point safety cameras, and implementing awareness campaigns on speeding in residential areas and school zones aligned with police enforcement programs.
