"Speed kills" - welcome!

Australia The city can be proud of its new city, the name of which should scare not only Australian rushers, but also speed lovers from all over the world.

“Speed kills” is the name of the city that was once called “Speed”.

The authorities decided to fight the ferocity on the roads, and now everyone who decided to visit this wonderful town, located in the southeast of the country, is greeted by a welcome shield with the inscription “Speed kills”.

While Australia is not one of the countries with alarming traffic accident statistics, the government takes the problem very seriously. But at the end of last year in road accidents killed a little more than a thousand people, which is much less than in some European countries. For example, over a hundred thousand people died in China last year. And in Russia, accidents claimed the lives of forty thousand people.

The frightening name of the Australian city was given for a month to try. If it helps to reduce the number of accidents, it will be left.

I wonder how people in the city feel about the new name. And what are they called now?
