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.
