Implementing the National Driver Distraction Roadmap

Implementation of the National Roadmap on Driver Distraction is a commitment of the Australian National Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030, and Austroads has begun work on a project to support this. The Roadmap reflects the growing recognition that a systems approach is required to address driver distraction. Driver distraction occurs as part of a complex interaction of many different components within the road traffic system, and solutions will need to come from a wide range of service and product suppliers. Progress is reported on the establishment of a governance framework, an implementation guide, and a forward work program to 2030. The paper discusses the value of a systems thinking approach to the distraction problem, and of establishing road safety governance systems which actively bring non-government actors together to provide direction and input on government supported projects.
