"The chances of a pedestrian not surviving a crash with a light vehicle is approximately 10 per cent at 30kph. This increases to around 80 per cent at 50kph," - Marcelo Vidales, the head of Road Safety Victoria

The default speed limit in Victoria is the speed limit with an 80% chance of killing a pedestrian.

We should be doing this in Melbourne.
Default speed limit in Melbourne should be 30km/hr unless otherwise signed. The effect on journey times will be unnoticeable.
Ask your car what your average speed is. It's already going to be around 30km/hr unless you regularly travel long distances on rural roads.
