Westernport road repairs & speed limits ..wtf ?

[OwnTheRoad]

G'day is this happening in your area , many of our roads have been poorly maintained for years , and some intersections have had more than their fair share of vehicle collisions for many reasons.
So recently our roads were repaired and some new roundabouts built , however the previously acceptable (by Vic roads engineers for decades ) limit that existed before the roads were repaired was 90 kph and 100 kph , now that they have fixed these problem areas the posted limit has been lowered to 80 kph .
This then raises a serious question , are the Vic roads engineers confident in the work carried out by contractors that repair our roads ?
To me it appears not as they now determine that a repaired road is only safe at 80 not the previous 90/100 limit that applied to a road that wasn't maintained.
This to me should be looked into further because if their justification for the posted limit being 80 kph isn't due to the roads poor current condition after recent repair then what is their justification for dropping the limit to 80 kph.
I can only think of one other reason and that's to raise revenue through speeding fines given that most folks on the Peninsula must commute for work and travel to the city regions often driving more than an hour I'm certain others like myself will feel the same frustration at the decisions made by Vic roads.

Please feel free to vent your frustration here..........FIRE AWAY......
