Non-urban road network strategy

The Tasmanian Government has developed a strategic framework, comprising of a number of policies, plans and strategies that combine to ensure that Tasmania’s transport system performs effectively, efficiently and safely, and to guide future investment decisions. The Safer Roads: Non-Urban Road Network Strategy enhances this strategic framework. It focuses on the State’s extensive network of non-urban roads to which a 100km/h speed limit applies and which have been identified as having a significantly higher proportion of crashes than other speed zones. The Strategy represents the Tasmanian Government’s commitment to improving the inherent safety of these roads by adopting new safety standards for 100km/h roads, and by better aligning road design and layout with an appropriate speed limit.
