Back in 2020, there was a move to change the speed limit on several streets in the CBD due to reckless driving. Instead of 60 km/h, there are 13 streets in the city centre with a speed limit of 40 km/h. Be aware of the signage and pavement markings indicating these speed limits and stick to them. Standard city streets have a speed limit of 60 km/h, while streets in unbuilt areas typically have a speed limit of 110 km/h. There are certain highways further out with a speed limit of 130 km/h, and this increase will be indicated through signage. Certain schools will have their own speed limits, so be on the lookout for these signs.
