Willoughby Council aims to raise awareness of road safety through educational campaigns. These campaigns are funded by Council and the RTA, and are aimed at specific high-risk road user groups.
Local communities need local information, something that mass media does not always provide. Road Safety Officers target those who would otherwise miss the message.
As over 80% of people who are involved in accidents within Willoughby are not local residents, Council runs joint projects with surrounding councils.
The Willoughby Crash Report 2004-2008 - 134 KB investigates accidents that have occured in the area and determines contributing factors and trends. This allows the RSO to determine who the high-risk road user groups are and then develop projects that specifically target those groups. We are currently awaiting 2009 crash data to be released by the RTA. An updated report will be available in early 2011.
