New safer speeds on Balcombe Road and Bluff Road

Project update - October 2025

In December 2024, we introduced a safer speed limit of 40km/h on Balcombe Road and Bluff Road, between College Grove and Stanley Street, to improve safety for pedestrians and bike riders. The 40km/h speed limit applies at all times of day.

To remind drivers of the low-speed environment, we’ve installed eight electronic speed limit signs in the new 40km/h zone.

All electronic speed limit signs on Balcombe Road  and on Bluff Road  are now active.  

Thanks for your patience while we completed these important safety improvements.

Project background

In the five-year period ending 31 December 2022, there were ten crashes recorded along this section of Balcombe Road and Bluff Road. Five of the ten crashes resulted in serious injuries. 

Introducing a safer speed through this high activity area will help reduce the likelihood and severity of collisions, and allow pedestrians, bike riders and drivers to share the road safely.

This upgrade is being made thanks to the Australian Government’s Road Safety Program, being delivered in partnership with the Victorian Government.
