Regional road safety and enforcement initiatives

Overview

Various regional authorities are implementing measures to improve road safety through infrastructure projects, public awareness campaigns, and increased police enforcement.

In Queensland, efforts include major highway upgrades, such as the construction of a new roundabout at the Bruce Highway-Walker Street intersection to improve traffic flow. To address rising motorcycle fatalities, police have launched the ‘Ride with Me’ video series and conducted Operation Spring Break, which detected over 13,400 traffic offences.

In Quebec, safety organizations have introduced campaigns focused on protecting tow truck operators via safety corridors. Additionally, police services are conducting intensified road interventions to promote safe coexistence between motorists and vulnerable users, such as cyclists and pedestrians, with a specific emphasis on school zones.
