Roads Australia is proud to again be a Principal Partner for National Road Safety Week, which runs from 14-21 May 2023.
Every year, approximately 1200 people are killed and another 44,000 are seriously injured on Australian roads. Traffic injury is the biggest killer of Australian children under 15 and the second-biggest killer of all Australians aged between 15 and 24.
These numbers are growing every year, but are preventable if we choose to Drive So Others Survive.
National Road Safety Week is an annual initiative from the Safer Australian Roads and Highways (SARAH) Group, partnering road safety organisations and Government. The week highlights the impact of road trauma and ways to reduce it.
Throughout next week, RA will be posting a series of messages across our social media channels that highlight the week’s themes and actions we can all take to make sure everyone gets home safe every day.
We encourage you to share these messages across your own channels and help spread the word.
