National Road Safety Strategy 2011 - 2020

On average, four people are killed and 90 are seriously injured every day on Australia's roads. Almost everyone has, at some stage, been affected by a road crash.

National Road Safety Strategy 2011 - 2020 aims to address this, the strategy is firmly based on Safe System principles and is framed by the guiding vision that no person should be killed or seriously injured on Australia's roads. As a step towards this long-term vision, the strategy presents a 10-year plan to reduce the annual numbers of both deaths and serious injuries on Australian roads by at least 30 per cent.


The strategy outlines broad directions for the future of Australian road safety, planned initiatives for the first three years and a range of options for further consideration as the strategy progresses. The initiatives and options are set out in four key areas - Safe Roads, Safe Speeds, Safe Vehicles and Safe People.

A key recommendation of the  strategy  is  the adoption of intelligent speed adaptation (speed alerting)  technologies. 

The Australian Transport Council meeting of federal, state and territory ministers released the National Road Safety Strategy 2011-20 at their meeting on 20 May 2011 in Alice Springs. Attending where:

L-R: Gerald McCarthy (NT), Mayor Felicity-ann Lewis (ALGA), Tom Kenyon (SA), Annastacia Palaszczuk (Qld), Craig Wallace (Qld), Catherine King (Cwlth), David O'Byrne (Tas) Anthony Albanese (Cwlth),  Terry Mulder (Vic), Duncan Gay (NSW), Gladys Berejiklian (NSW), Denis Napthine (Vic).
