South Australia's Road Safety Strategy to 2031

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.

Extensive consultation with stakeholders and the community guided the development of the strategy. Read the Consultation Outcomes Report (PDF, 2415 KB).
