Thirteen annual speed surveys were conducted in the non-metropolitan areas during the period between 2000 and 2018 to measure driver speed compliance across the network of speed limit roads ranging from 60 km/h to 110 km/h. The 2000 survey was used as the baseline year for the comparisons with all subsequent surveys from which road safety and speed performance indicators were derived as measures of driver speed behaviours over the time.
