A LODDON Herald online poll this week has shown support for reducing the Calder Highway speed limit in Brooke Street to 40kmh.

In the multiple option poll, 67.5 per cent of respondents backed cutting the current limit in key sections of heritage-verandah lined Brooke Street by 10kmh.

And 53 per cent of people voting in the poll have favoured the installation of flashing speed signs.

There was also support among 46 per cent of voters for installation of fixed speed camera in the town.

However, only 22 per cent want rumble strips as a measure to make the street safer for motorists and pedestrians.
