Road safety

The Eastern Downs Regional Road Group (based in the Toowoomba Regional Council area) has undertaken a road safety partnership project in conjunction with the Roads Alliance. The idea behind this project is to achieve greater road safety through improvements in road user behaviour and engineering.

The outcomes achieved by this project were:

  • Identification of key road safety initiatives.
  • The development of a Regional Road Safety Strategy and action plan for the Toowoomba Regional Council / Eastern Downs Regional Road Group area.
  • Intention to appoint a Road Safety Officer to coordinate road safety across the region.
