§The Montana Paradox safety results were not an anomaly.
§ÒUp until 2007, rural roads in the
Northern Territory, Australia had no speed limit.
Claiming that speed limits were essential to saving lives, the state government imposed a 130km/h (80 MPH) limit on
the Stuart, Arnhem, Victoria and Barkly
highways and a 110km/h (68 MPH) speed limit on all
other roads, unless otherwise marked lower.Ó
SAFEST SPEED
Montana
No Daytime Limits
Here are the results:
Year 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008
Fatalities 55 53 35 55 44 57 75
A 50% increase in road
deaths after the introduction of the speed kills policy, cameras
and draconian regulation. The same type of spike Montana experienced.
