  2. Fatalities – Record result in 2006, but more effort is required Current trend approx. 120 by 2010 Number of fatalities Target less than 90 by 2010

  3. Serious Injuries – Good progress overall, but more effort is required Current trend approx. 1200 by 2010 Number of serious injuries Target less than 1000 by 2010

  4. Australia’s Safe System

  6. Big casualty savings from small changes in travel speed (20% on 1100kms of road) Lower rural travel speeds reduce in vehicle operating costs, and fuel consumption Reducing fuel consumption has a direct effect on the volume of greenhouse gas emissions Estimated ideal speed on undivided rural roads (taking all safety, efficiency and environmental factors into account) is 80 km/h Multiple Wins (Rural)

  7. Human Tolerance to Physical Force (Urban) 100 100 90 90 80 80 70 70 60 60 50 50 Fatality risk % Fatality risk % 40 40 30 30 20 20 10 10 0 0 0 0 10 10 20 20 30 30 40 40 50 50 60 60 70 70 80 80 90 90 100 100 110 110 120 120 130 130 Collision speed km/h Collision speed km/h Fatality Risk for Pedestrian Crash

  8. Results of 50km/h Default Urban Change 4 km/h difference = 23% casualty crash reduction More @ slower speeds Fewer @ extreme speeds

  9. Big casualty savings from small changes in travel speed (23% in Metro Adelaide) Safer environment supports walking and cycling as desirable modes of transport More walking and cycling helps improve healthy weight, and increase exercise Active modes of transport play a key role in keeping urban communities vital and vibrant Multiple Wins (Urban)

  10. Fatalities and serious injuries by area, 2002-2006

  11. Serious casualties by area and road type, 2002-2006

  12. Serious casualties on local government roads by speed limit, 2002-2006

  13. Serious casualties on arterial roads by speed limit,2002-2006

  14. Serious crash types in rural areas, 2002-2006

  15. BAC of driver and rider fatalities in rural areas, 2003-2006 47 drivers and riders killed per year in rural areas are tested for BAC levels

  16. Seatbelt wearing by driver and passenger fatalities and serious injuries in rural areas, 2002-2006 650 driver and passengers killed or seriously injured in rural areas each year

  17. Regional Fatality Rates

  18. Drivers and Riders killed or seriously injured in rural areas, by place of residence, 2002-2006 Residence of Rural Driver/Rider Fatality or Serious Injury

  19. Local Government has a big stake in road safety As major network operators As community leaders As good corporates and employers Safety of infrastructure Safety of vehicle fleet Safe of community Local government and road safety

  20. Maintaining and/or developing strong relationships and partnerships Engaging communities on the issues they face, and providing professional analysis of those issues Building voluntary commitments to change from communities, the business sector, professions etc How do we work together?
