South Australia’s Road Safety Strategy to 2031 includes:

  • principles to underpin road safety decision-making and actions
  • strategic priorities that are the focus areas for the strategy – informed by evidence and consultation. These priority areas are identified to collectively contribute to achieving our ten-year target.

The nine road safety strategic focus areas are:

  • Road user behaviour: Supporting and enforcing safer road user behaviour
  • Vehicles: Increasing the use and purchase of safer vehicles in South Australia
  • Roads: Safer design, construction and maintenance of road infrastructure
  • Regional and remote areas: Reducing the number of lives lost and serious injuries on regional and remote roads
  • Workplaces: Developing a culture of road safety in South Australian workplaces
  • Aboriginal road safety: Reducing the over-representation of Aboriginal people in road crashes
  • Older road users: Greater focus on road users aged 70+
  • Walking, cycling and public transport: Improving safety for people who walk and cycle and increasing public transport patronage
  • Young drivers and riders with a focus on those living in regional or remote areas: Reducing the over-representation in road crashes.
