Road safety
Road safety continues to be one of the nation's most serious public health issues—it affects everyone, whether you drive, walk or cycle.
We all need to know how to take care of ourselves and respect others on the road. That's why we encourage everyone to get actively involved in understanding road safety. It is important to know:
- how much (or how little) you can drink before you drive
- the speed limits on your local streets
- where you can stop, revive and survive on a long journey
- how to teach young children road safety skills.
Whether you are new to driving, need to refresh your knowledge or even teach someone else road skills, this site will provide you with up-to-date information on road safety issues. Understanding and practising road safety is everyone's concern—it could save your life, or someone else's.
