Picture: Jo-anna Robinson Source: adelaidenow MORE country roads face having speed limits slashed from 110km/h to 100km/h in a bid to further reduce South Australia's road toll. As authorities grapple with a horror start to the Easter long weekend, the Sunday Mail can reveal the State Government is reviewing speed limits on high-speed arterial roads. Road Safety Minister Michael O'Brien has also flagged a plan to give good drivers a 25 per cent discount on their licence fees if they have not committed a traffic offence for three years before renewing their licence. The move would see the cost of a maximum 10-year licence cut from $380 to $285. The Transport Department review of 110km/h rural speed limits - due by the end of the year - is part of the Road Safety Strategy 2020 plan which aims for a 30 per cent cut in road casualties by 2020. The changes did not affect speeds on national highways or freeways such as the Northern Expressway, Port Wakefield Rd, the South Eastern Freeway and Sturt Highway. However, Mr O'Brien said any move to reduce limits on rural roads further to 80km/h would be considered separately on a road-by-road basis if there were requests from councils or the community. Three people have been killed on country roads this Easter long weekend: a 17-year-old male at Balaklava yesterday and a man and woman in a head-on crash on the Dukes Highway, near Ki-Ki, on Friday. The deaths have taken the road toll to 32 compared to 25 at the same time last year. Mr O'Brien has also ordered his department to prepare a briefing paper on the merits of a discounts-for-drivers scheme based on a Victorian model, which rewards good drivers with a discount on their drivers licence fees. The concept, supported by the RAA, could extend to a one-off waiver of fines for minor traffic offences for drivers with an extended clean record, he said. The result of the Victorian approach to road safety is they have the lowest road toll in the nation.
