The Department has not made a separate estimate of the reduction in speeding required to achieve the 65% reduction in people killed or seriously injured by 2035. The Road Safety Strategy takes a Safe System approach, with action on safer speeds forming part of a wider package of measures to reduce deaths and serious injuries. Achieving the target will depend on the combined effect of these measures.
