Ballarat motorists are going to need to pay careful attention from Monday next week, as a raft of speed limits will change on local roads.
The Department of Transport says the new limits are to manage increasing traffic volumes and to protect vulnerable road users at key locations, such as school precincts.
A full list of speed limit changes are listed below:
Speed reduction from 70km/h to 60km/h on a 2.4 kilometre section of Sturt Street in Alfredton, from Pleasant Street to Learmonth Street.
Speed reduction from 70km/h to 60km/h on a 2.4 kilometre section of Victoria Street in Ballarat East, from Fussell Street to Humffray Street.
Speed reduction from 60km/h to 50km/h on a one kilometre section of Main Road in Ballarat from Humffray Street to Bradshaw Street.
Speed reduction from 60km/h and 40km/h to a consistent 50km/h on a 1.1 kilometre section of Barkly Street from Victoria Street to Grant Street.
Speed reduction from 60km/h to 50km/h on a 900-metre section of Grant Street between Barkly Street and Doveton Street (Midland Highway).
