Why is the speed limit reduced between Sunshine Avenue and Calder Freeway?
The speed limit has been reduced to 80km/h between Sunshine Avenue and Calder Freeway to reduce the stop-start traffic affect that can occur when the speed limit jumps up and down over relatively short distances. By maintaining a consistent speed limit we can better manage ‘bottlenecks’ and unnecessary braking to enable a safer and smoother journey across the M80 Ring Road.
