I can’t wait to see the shock jocks react to that. Their rage will be like nothing we’ve seen so far.A congestion tax for Sydney’s CBD and distance-based road user charges will be considered by the NSW government under long-term plans to overhaul the state’s transport network amid escalating budgetary pressures.
A cabinet sensitive document obtained by the Herald and Nine News warns that road users “do not pay the true costs” of driving and causing congestion around the city and floats broader road-use charging as a potential remedy.
But this is an important step. Reducing speed limits will help encourage cycling on roads because our cycling network is rather disjointed and crumbling in places.
It’s unlikely this will happen because it will upset the majority of people who want to drive. But if through some miracle it does, then it will make the roads better. There is no need for 60km/h on local suburban streets.
