The battle for the streets: How can we make our roads safer?

There are so many things that shape the way we use our streets. A new study from RMIT has found bringing residential speed limits down from 50 to 30 kilometres an hour would protect cyclists.

Other studies show a drop in residential speed limits even more benefits, especially for our kids.

So what do we need to do to make our streets safe, healthy and places that encourage us to get outside and play?
