In NSW Transport for NSW own research shows 30kmh saves lives.

> There is a 10 per cent risk that a pedestrian will be killed if hit by a modern car at 30km/h. At a 50km/h impact speed, the risk increases to 80 per cent.

The Age: Pedestrians were given priority on Melbourne’s ‘Little’ streets. But drivers aren’t sharing

> Former Sydney deputy lord mayor Jess Scully also wants the council to back a maximum speed limit of 40km/h on all roads in the Sydney CBD and inner-city suburbs, “with consideration to 30km/h in our villages, to support safety for people walking and cycling”.
