Most of the speed reviews will be conducted on roads in the Central Division especially along the Suva/Nausori corridor.

LTA spokesperson Iliesa Sokia says after almost a year of planning and consultation with local stakeholders and overseas experts, a framework has been drawn to test the proposed new speed.

A report will be compiled which will be submitted to the government for final endorsement.

LTA is conducting the review with the Fiji Police in consultation with the Fiji Roads Authority.
