    Yeah in Victoria it’s been lowered to 25. Nobody drives that speed though. People drive what speed they feel comfortable despite what the signs say

      Which is why we need to design our streets so that the speed at which drivers are comfortable matches the speed that is safe and sensible for the other people sharing the street, such as pedestrians and cyclists. Raised crossings, in-street traffic calming, narrow winding streets, paving stones, etc.
