Two tragic crashes — one on the Sunshine Coast, one in inner Sydney — have once again exposed how quickly Australia defaults to individual blame while ignoring the systems that create danger.

Better Streets invites you to a briefing to help us craft a plan for a national Safer Speeds campaign. Registration detils.

Better Streets welcomes its new 2025–26 Board and thanks our outgoing founding members for their leadership in building a national movement for safer, people-first streets.

New car ad tells Aussies to ‘Be More Tank’ – a kid kicks down a door, and people are encouraged to create Tank Clubs to glorify the message.  It’s an aggressive ad campaign targeting children and adults.  🚫🚙 We’ve officially complained. Here’s why.

NSW has a once-in-a-generation chance to reshape the Roads Act — and we’re calling for bold reform to put people, safety and climate at the centre.

Better Streets and WalkSydney have been on the advisory group throughout 2025, but we’re concerned that it’s not enough to ensure transformational change. Here’s a short summary, and our submission to the current round of consultation.

We invite you to join Better Streets as a Member, come to our Annual General Meeting, and consider nominating for our Board of Directors.

Imagine a neighbourhood where kids can ride to the park safely, where older people feel confident crossing the street, and where conversations spill out onto the footpath because traffic no longer drowns us out. Right now, too many of our streets are noisy, stressful, and unsafe. The promise of “road safety” programs has stalled. But around the world, cities are proving that slowing traffic transforms more than just crash statistics, it reshapes daily life. Quieter, greener, more social streets aren’t a dream. They’re a choice.

Join Better Streets’ Content Creation Workshop 15 November 2025, or webinar 5 November, where you’ll learn to craft compelling video stories about urban design and road safety. Led by Dr Julian O’Shea and Lucinda Hartley, this free hybrid event covers filming tips, storytelling techniques, and lessons from the 100 to Zero project.
