I'm not sure what it's like now but the black spur out towards Lake Eildon
in Vic ( a notoriously curvy, wet and slippery piece **** road) used to be
posted at 100km/h. It was probably safe at that speed for about 5 or 10
days
a year.
Then there's a road near my place where Vicroads have just spent millions
upgrading it (widening, resurfacing and new roadside barriers on bends)
then, once the roadworks were complete, they dropped the limit from 100 to
90. A few million dollars spent and, judging by the reduced speed limit,
it's now less safe than it was before the roadworks......
