Road Speed Limit Reviews

The State Government is the authority for setting and reviewing speed limits on all state, regional and local roads in NSW.  The Centre for Road Safety uses feedback submitted by the public, along with crash data and other road safety engineering information, to prioritise the roads that need a speed zone review.

Lodge a request for a speed review or speed camera on the Centre for Road Safety - Speeding website.

What you need

  • A brief description of your feedback
  • The location of the speed sign or speed limits you’re submitting feedback about, including start and end points by street, suburb, postcode or city.

If the Centre for Road Safety needs further information, you may be contacted using the details you’ve provided.

Road Speeds Enforcement

Ballina Shire Council has no authority to enforce the laws against speeding, hooning or other driving behaviour that is not compliant with the road rules. This authority is held by NSW Police, and patterns of unsafe driver behaviour should be reported to local police.
