The Australian town is putting a stop to speeding
|
An Australian town has changed its name in an attempt to increase the awareness of road safety
The town, situated in the Australian Outback in Victoria, is usually called Speed but it has changed its name to SpeedKills for one month in the hope of persuading people to slow down on the country roads.
The town is hoping that its campaign will become global as it has already been causing an internet sensation on social networking sites, such as Facebook.
A local in the town has even agreed to change his name from Phil Down to Phil Slow Down in order to show his support for the campaign.
The campaign is being run by Victoria Transport Commission.
