You are simply being prepared for an eventual reduction of ARR's rural default to 80km/h, or 90km/h sealed.

Rural default should never have been 100 km/h, that arrived after the removal of (//), in VIC back in the 60's ; to avoid backlash.

The upside, will be an eventual 130-130km/h per CIR 206 of ATSB for freeway.
