An ACT Policing spokesperson said speeding was a major contributor to injury and death on ACT roads.
"It reduces reaction times, as well as increasing stopping distances and the impact of a collision, especially for vulnerable road users including motorcyclists," the spokesperson said in a statement.
"ACT Policing will continue to enforce the speed limit on Canberra roads and reminds the community to always stick to the speed limit and get to their destination safely."
The ACT recorded 18 road fatalities in 2022, the highest road toll in 12 years. There has been one fatal crash in Canberra so far in 2023.
