The NSW Road Safety Strategy is the idea of - through

community and plans - improving road safety and

making NSW’s roads the safest in Australia. Road
fatalities have reduced from 28.9 in 1970 to 4.99 in
2017 thanks to the introduction of this strategy in
2012. The different methods they have used in this
strategy include:
- Increase involvement with the local government
- Address important trends in injuries and post crash
response and care
- Enforce road rules
- Improve involvement from the community regarding
road safety
I believe this strategy has helped reduce fatalities and
has made our roads much safer.

The Cycling Safety Action Plan was introduced in in

2014 and closed in 2016. It supports the goals of the
NSW Road Safety Strategy. Based on the information
I’ve provided above, I believe this strategy has helped
reduce fatalities on our roads also.

Advertisements are a strategy. Advertisements are

placed on roads and shown on TV. The idea is young
people will see these and will be persuaded to follow
road rules. Statistics show that the more ads that are
shown, the more people are affected and less
accidents are caused.
Also the idea of multiple junior licenses before getting
your full license is a strategy. Making sure there are
special rules and laws for youngsters makes them
happy to not have so many restrictions. So they’ll
follow road rules. I have no evidence to prove that this
works, but I’m sure it would.
