Bunbury Region RoadWise Committee Action Plan 1

16/09/2014

Bunbury Region RoadWise Committee Action Plan 2014 – 2015

This strategic plan is written under the framework of the State Road Safety Strategy and the principles of the Safe System and Shared Responsibility approach to road safety that has been used throughout Australia and the world. A Safe System benefits all road users and has four essential elements: - Safe Road Use - this is about fostering a culture that supports alert and compliant road users and improving road user behaviour and enforcement. - Safe Road and Roadsides - provide safer roads by improving the road and the road environment. - Safe Speeds – category aims to improve speed management on roads and foster a community and driving culture that supports lower travel speeds. - Safe Vehicles - aims to improve awareness of vehicle safety features and ANCAP ratings and to encourage purchase of at least four or five star ANCAP rated vehicles. There are four guiding principles behind the Safe System:

1. The limits of human performance: We all make mistakes and we all need to acknowledge the limits of our capabilities. 2. The physical limits of human tolerance to violent forces: We are physically vulnerable when involved in a traffic crash. 3. Shared responsibility: This means all of us take an individual and shared role in road safety. 4. A forgiving road system: so that when crashes do happen, deaths can be avoided and injuries minimised.
