Road Safety week efforts continue into weekend
The Central Region Road Safety Week continues today with a focus on the Fatal Five and a host of activities across the region.
The Central Region Road Safety Week ambassador Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith VC MG said that drivers need to adhere to the Fatal Five.
“All motorists should drive to existing weather and road conditions and not exceed the signed speed limit – lights on for road safety” Corporal Ben Roberts-Smith said.
The four pace cars have completed over 16572 kms on day six and will be out on deployment in school zones, road works and other high risk localities to help ‘Pace’ traffic. If you spot the car and aren’t driving take a snap.
The Queensland Police Service announced the road safety week in the Central Region as part of its ongoing efforts to help reduce the road toll.
The week which concludes today, Sunday March 23, has been developed through an innovative and shared responsibility approach to road safety with the main theme being ‘Road Safety is your future.’
The Central Region recorded 95 fatalities in 2013 and while this represents a reduction on the previous year it is still the highest toll for any Police region in Queensland. The road toll for the region in 2014 is currently seven – 22 less than at this point last year.
