Community Road Safety

Community road safety is based on the idea that local residents are best placed to know what their community's road safety issues are.

Community road safety groups can play an important role in creating a culture of road safety. They can take action so that:

  • the community is better informed
  • safer behaviours are encouraged
  • neighbourhoods, shopping areas and community hubs are safer.

They can influence decision-makers to consider safety outcomes, such as in development proposals. There are Community Road Safety Groups in metropolitan Adelaide and across South Australia.

The Department for Infrastructure and Transport offers a $500 Administration Grant each year to active Community Road Safety Groups. The grant assists with costs, such as postage, printing and reimbursement of phone calls. Accident cover for volunteers and public liability insurance are also offered yearly.

For more information, email dit.roadsafety@sa.gov.au.
