The VicRoads statistics indicate a link between steadily declining rates of speed and fewer road deaths in the past 14 years.
The average speed in 60km/h zones has dropped by 10 per cent since 1998. By last year, the annual road toll in 60km/h zones in metropolitan Melbourne plunged from 102 to 30.
