February 01, Colombo (LNW): Sri Lanka’s National Council for Road Safety is aiming to introduce a revised set of speed limits ahead of the end of March, as preparations near completion.
According to the Council’s Chairman, Manjula Kularatne, the review process has reached its final phase, with authorities now fine-tuning the last technical and administrative details. He said the changes are being designed to better reflect actual road conditions rather than relying on outdated, one-size-fits-all limits.
The updated framework will identify specific road stretches where lower speeds are necessary to improve safety, as well as areas where limits can be safely adjusted upwards to ease traffic flow. Officials say the revisions are intended to strike a balance between reducing accidents and ensuring smoother travel for motorists once implemented.
