The default speed limit for Southern Australian beaches is expected be reduced from 100 kilometers per hour to 40kph and it is expected be slower around the pedestrians among the ongoing safety concerns. Lock Points The speed limit on the SA beaches is set to be closed at a speed of 40 km h and 25 km h in a pedestrian 100 meters. The speed limit on the SA beaches is adjusted to be closed at pedestrian at a speed of 40 km h and 25 km h in pedestrian. Following consultation of people on subject launched in February, government government wants to make changes before next summer In accordance with the existing rules, the default velocity limit for non -marked beaches is 100 km h for non -built areas and 50 km h in established urban areas. The rules are due to beaches defined as 'road -related areas' in accordance with the 1961 Traffic Traffic Law and Australian road rules. The State Government opened consultation with the community in February with a Meetsay survey that offers 40 km h, 25 km h, or unchanged beach speed limit options. Police Minister Joe Szakacs said that there was an overwhelming support to reduce the beach speed limit assumed by the survey participants. "80 percent of all participants to Yoursay survey provided clear support for a decrease in default speed limit, most preferred option is 40 and 25 ... A decrease in pedestrian 100 meters." "South Australia is very lucky to have first -class beaches, but it is clear that the current road laws that make it possible are not up to date." Between 2017 and 2021, there was an accident that was reported 29 on South Australian beaches, which resulted in a death, 15 serious injuries and 13 minor injuries. Speed was reported as a factor that contributed to half of the accidents. Last November, speed limit at the Gooolwa Beach was reduced to 40 km h after years of advocacy due to security concerns of Alexandrina Council. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has recently reduced Moana to 10 km h on the beach in Aldinga and Sellicks. The state government admitted that when the speed limit was already reduced to 40 km h or less, it would not be changed "independent of the aspect". North Beach in Wallaroo fell to 30 km h the already default velocity limit. Treasurer Stephen Mullighan, speed reduction will be a pleasant change for many families, he said. "While more and more people buy four -wheeled drivers and SUV, frankly, in most cases, it has become dangerous for South Australian families to land on the beach when there are people who last at all speeds." He continued "A miracle there is no more injured accidents in South Australian beaches." The government has opened a new advisory tour on Yoursay website with its plans to introduce changes before the end of year. "If we can fulfill them as quickly as possible, then for the next summer, then many Southern Australian family will be much safer in our beaches."Said. "We don't have an opinion that fits one body, we're happy to be unique to
