The Northern Territory government has today announced a trial of open speed limits on a section of the Stuart Highway, with a view to a permanent reintroduction.
In keeping with its election promise, the NT government will implement the trial on a 200km stretch of National Highway 87 between Barrow Creek and Alice Springs, beginning February 1 next year.
Transport Minister Peter Styles said the NT government - which was always against the scrapping of open speed limits while in opposition - was committed to undertaking an evidence-based trial before deciding if a return to open speed limits would be permanent, or implemented on other roads.
