South Australia's Road Safety Strategy to 2031

South Australia’s Road Safety Strategy to 2031 is informed by evidence and consultation. It outlines:

• principles to underpin road safety decision-making and actions
• strategic priorities that are the focus areas for the strategy.

These priority areas are identified to collectively contribute to achieving our ten-year target.

Focus areas

• Road user behaviour:
  Support and enforce safer road user behaviour
• Vehicles:
  Increase the use and purchase of safer vehicles in South Australia
• Roads:
  Safer design, construction and maintenance of road infrastructure
• Regional and remote areas:
  Reduce the number of lives lost and serious injuries on regional and remote roads
• Workplaces:
  Develop a culture of road safety in South Australian workplaces
• Aboriginal road safety:
  Reduce their over-representation of Aboriginal people in road crashes
• Older road users:
  Greater focus on road users aged 70+
• Walking, cycling and public transport:
  Improve 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:
  Reduce their over-representation in road crashes.

Extensive consultation with stakeholders and the community guided the development of the strategy. Read the Consultation Outcomes Report (PDF, 2.4 MB).
