In late 2011, the Centre for Road Safety commenced the development of a new NSW Road Safety Strategy.  This followed from the launch of the National Road Safety Strategy 2011-2020.

 

A series of key stakeholder sessions have been held to inform the development of the Draft NSW Road Safety Strategy 2012 – 2021.

 

The strategy sets out the current and emerging safety issues for NSW road users and proposes a range of solutions based on the Safe System approach to address these issues under the headings:

  • Safer Roads
  • Safer Vehicles
  • Safer People
  • Safer Speeds

 

The Safe System approach takes a holistic view of the road system, including interactions between the road and roadside, vehicles, speed limits and road users.

 

Feedback on the draft strategy is being sought until Monday, 10 September 2012. More information is here.
