Better Streets Australia
Australia’s peak body for safer, healthier and more sustainable streets.
Our recommendations
Better Streets Australia has five key recommendations for federal, state and local governments.
Get kids active Encourage 75% of children to walk, cycle, scoot, or take public transport to school everyday, setting them up for healthy habits for life.
Slow vehicles down Adopt 30km/h speeds for local residential streets, and urban centres to significantly reduce avoidable injuries and fatalities.
Boost local businesses Improve and expand beautiful streetscapes that people enjoy spending time and money in.
Make more crossings Encourage walking and improve safety with 20 new or improved crossings in each council each year.
Provide transport choices Add another 1,000 kilometres of connected safe, and direct cycle & micro-mobility routes per year.
