Guide to road safety part 1: introduction and the safe system

The Austroads Guide to Road Safety has been developed to provide an overview of road safety and road safety practices in Australia and New Zealand. It consists of seven parts. Part 1 is an introduction to the guide and the safe system. It provides an overview of the structure of the guide, its remaining seven parts and the interlinking and overlap between parts. It also describes safe system, the guiding principles for road safety programs in Australia and New Zealand. The final section provides an overview of road agencies’ responsibilities for road safety, and how performance in meeting these responsibilities is managed and measured. At the time of publication, the 2021-2030 National Road Safety Strategy has not yet been released. A future project will update this Guide so that it reflects the Strategy.
