study, to be conducted by VicRoads

CONFUSING and inappropriate speed limits could be swept away following a major review of the rules that is about to begin.
Roads Minister Terry Mulder has ordered the assessment after public anger over poorly designed speed zones.
Public input will be sought ahead of recommendations being handed to the State Government later this year.
The study, to be conducted by VicRoads, will look at:
ROUTES that have a large number of speed changes, and ways to reduce them.
SCHOOL speed zones, including their layout and location and their times of operation.
STRIP shopping centre and town centre limits.
ADVISORY, as opposed to compulsory, speed limits.
A MINIMUM length for speed zones.
THE consistency of speed limits, particularly when compared with roads that have similar conditions.
