We can and should be allowed to drive faster on our freeways and motorways; but don’t think governments will let it happen overnight.

please don’t redirect public transit spending to road maintenance spending
Road infrastructure is also required for Freight and Tourism.
Tourism is critical for our economy now due to the reduction of Resource-based primary industry.
Not only does Public Transport infrastructure need to be improved for the populace’s mundane transport needs, Freight Rail networks also need to be improved and freight companies would need incentives to use rail for the bulk of their regional transport requirements.
Regional public transport to tourist destinations would also need to be reinstated and restored. All those rail trails that have been reclaimed and rebuilt in the last 40 years will need to be torn back up and the rail lines would need to be rebuilt.
