just on minor, often poorly maintained, rural roads.

Sounds to me like the fix there is to better maintain rural roads, rather than lower the speed limit and let them further deteriorate?

That's really expensive, and they're lightly used as most people are using the highways. It's hard to justify the expense

[–] YeahToast@aussie.zone 1 points 18 hours ago

Sure, I can see how expense is not equal (especially comparing infrastructure use say compared to an Asian country).. but a lot of the rural roads are how you access farms and farms are fairly important.
