Lowered Speed Limits
In November 2007, the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) announced plans to lower the speed limits along much of Bells Line of Road. Within a week, sufficient opposition was expressed that the changes were put on hold. In October 2008, the same changes were again announced, with the RTA claiming that there had been community consultation, but numerous users of the road, including politicians and councillors based west of the Blue Mountains, claimed to have been unaware of any consultation. As a result of the changes, the maximum speed limit east of Bell is now 80 km/h.

“No man has hired us
With pocketed hands
And lowered faces
We stand about in open places
And shiver in unlit rooms.”

No limits to what rose in rubbing sticks
On fire to scare away the pterodix
