The Road Safety Conference faced a sharp division over prima facie limits of 30 mph in built up areas and 50 mph elsewhere, with police support and concerns about road toll reduction. The conference adjourned for New Year as discussions continue. RACA president Mr Bradley said the Royal Automobile Club of Australia would oppose.
