Safer roads, safer Queensland
Queensland’s RoadSafety Strategy 2015-21 • An ambitious vision –
zero road deaths andserious injuries.
• Four guiding principles.

The true road toll is broader than fatalities

We need an ambitious vision with interimtargets to inspire and motivate action
HV & CoR Safety Conference | 14-15 November 2016
• A new vision for the future: zero road deaths and seriousinjuries
• In Queensland, we will aim to:̶ reduce fatalities from 303 (average 2008-2010) to 200 or fewer
by 2020̶ reduce hospitalised casualties from 6670 (average 2008-2010) to
4669 or fewer by 2020.

1. Safer roads
Identify and correct unsafe road infrastructure andoperational characteristics:
HV & CoR Safety Conference | 14-15 November 2016
• Route assessment guideline• Performance Based Scheme (PBS)
route audit• Road Manager ‘Tool box’• Wide centre-line treatment• Road feature involvement in heavy
vehicle crashes analysis• Investigate need for additional
emergency stopping bays.

Route assessment and road assessment
• Route Assessment• Guideline on target for early 2017.• PBS route audit underway.• ‘Tool box’ funded in 2017-18.
• Wide centre-line treatment• $11.15 million over two years.• 18 Bruce Highway locations from
Cairns to Gympie.• Over 900 km completed.

Rest area improvement project
• The rest area and stoppingplaces audit completed.
• 2931 rest areas identifiedstate-wide.
• Two new rest areasplanned for CapricornHighway, with $2.57 millionallocated for delivery in2016-17.
