ACT Road Safety Strategy and Action Plans

Although the ACT has a very good road safety record in comparison to other parts of Australia, and indeed the world, there is no room for complacency. In 2005 the economic cost to the community of ACT road crashes was estimated to be some$180 million.

The Strategy itself is a higher level “policies and principles” document, and relies on the Action Plan to set the specific activities which are designed to achieve the goals and targets outlined in the ACT and National Road Safety Strategies.

Road safety programs are commonly classified in terms of the “Four Es” –        Education, Encouragement, Engineering and Enforcement.

They are applied in an integrated way to most of the issues covered in the following documents.
