In 2022, there were 41 reductions in speed limits on state and council-controlled roads in Tasmania. In every case, these decisions have been made to keep Tasmanians safe.

To be a voice for our members we must listen to members. Thankfully there’s no shortage of Tasmanians telling us what they think about the core issues we advocate for on their behalf.

There’s a remarkably consistent message that emerges whenever Tasmanians are asked how we can reduce road trauma in this state.

The RACT campaign to improve the Tasman Highway bore fruit in the federal election campaign – but that doesn’t mean the fight is over. While there is now $131 million to be spent on significant upgrades over the next five years, that should be regarded as just a first instalment.

With speeding on the rise, more speed cameras will remind drivers it isn’t a smart choice, writes Garry Bailey.

Our state budget submission urges the government to focus on road safety.

Our extensive road safety programs are just the start of life-long learning.

Courtesy and common sense can change the pedestrian experience for everyone.

When we asked you for your views on road safety in August, we knew to expect a big reaction, writes Garry Bailey.

Most of us frown on those who speed or use their mobile phones while driving. But there is technology used in Australia today to detect this behaviour, all paid for by those breaking the law.

Reducing Tasmania's road trauma requires a unified approach by governments, organisations and the community. It’s a journey we must all take together.
