National Safe Speeds campaign
We need help making better infographics and more!
1,300 people were killed on Australian roads in the last year. More than 500 were 'vulnerable road users' - people walking, riding a bike, driving a motorcycle, or children.
To put that into perspective, Australia's road deaths are equivalent to six Airbus A330 aircraft crashing every year, increasing by 4% each year - so this will happen again next year, unless we do something.
But it's not all doom and gloom. It is possible to make our streets safer, to reduce the risk of death and to make where we live a better place. That's what Better Streets is all about - and we'd love to tell you about our plans for change in 2026 and hear how you might be able to contribute. graphics, writing, photography, media, local activism.
I hope you can join us for a campaign briefing and help us shape a plan for a National Safe Speeds campaign.

Who: Anyone who wants to get involved!
If the safety message isn't compelling for you maybe the vision of having calmer and more pleasant streets is something you can relate to. If you've ever had a staycation or gone to a caravan park during the summer holidays you'll know the joy of having quieter, calmer streets. Safer speeds isn't just about surviving car crashes, it's about creating places that feel safer for everyone. I hope you'll join us on our campaign.

Examples of Australian Safe Speeds campaigns
Infrastructure Victoria employed jellybeans for their new campaign to help people understand how our local streets and schools can be safer and more pleasant when we have 30 km/h speed limits - and how little impact it really has for drivers...
