National Road Safety Week 2025: Your Speed Matters

This National Road Safety Week, we join SARAH: Safer Australian Roads and Highways and communities across Australia in acknowledging the vital importance of road safety. Today’s theme, “Your Speed Matters,” highlights the importance of preventing serious injuries and fatalities on our roads. Every kilometre counts, and choosing safe speeds is a choice we can all make to play our part in making our communities safer.

Across Australia, innovative programs are making a tangible difference in managing speed and enhancing road safety. The Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads utilises Acusensus‘ transportable trailer-based solutions to address speeding in various locations, including regional areas across the state. In New South Wales, Transport for NSW employs Acusensus’ mobile car-based platforms to ensure safer speeds and in Western Australia, Acusensus’ world first multi-functional enforcement solution is deployed state-wide targeting point and average speed (alongside phone distraction and seatbelt enforcement). These varied approaches recognise that each community and jurisdiction has unique road safety needs, yet these communities all work towards discouraging speeding behaviours, leading to safer roads.

As advocates for road safety, we believe that collaborative efforts contribute to a future with fewer road fatalities. “Your Speed Matters” is a reminder that we can all make an impact on the safety of everyone on our roads. Let’s all remember to drive at safe speeds and help save lives.
