THE state government should hike the speed limit on most major highways, Courier Mail readers have said, after revelations the top speed on Queensland roads could be lifted above 110km/h. Transport Minister Scott Emerson wants motorists to have their say on what the speed limits should be in the first major review in nearly 20 years. A majority of readers who participated in an online poll this morning said speed restrictions should be loosened on all major Queensland roads - especially the M1 motorway between Brisbane and the Gold Coast. More than 20 per cent of readers said the M1 limit should change. "The M1 is an obvious choice," Peter of Brisbane said. The M1... is an exceptional road, the equal of German highspeed roads. A Wynnum resident commented: "Raising the limit on the M1 is a good idea... some people just love to sit in the right lane and dictate the speed so you have to pass them on the left." But the news triggered a wave of concern amongst other readers who were concerned any changes could cause more fatalities on the roads. "Most fatalities occur on country roads and it's due to speeding!" said Rob of Logan. "No, no, no, the yobs and hoons already have a complete disregard for the law, don't make it any worse," wrote Brisbane local Marissa. A vocal group of readers said they were convinced Queenslanders are incompetent drivers. One Brisbane resident was emphatic: "Queenslanders can't drive." A Beenleigh resident agreed. Queensland has some of the best motorways in the country yet no one can stay in their own lane or on their own side of the road. Online polls are not scientific and only represent reader views. Earlier, the minister warned that just as many limits were likely to be lowered in the review.
