Summary

The SA Government is developing a new Road Safety Strategy to reduce lives lost and serious injuries on our roads. The strategy will guide decisions and investment, with a focus on the safe movement of people throughout the State.

Whether you drive, ride, are a pedestrian or passenger, you have the opportunity to shape the actions needed to enable us to travel and interact safely on our roads.

Department of Infrastructure and Transport want to better understand:

• how you travel around your community
• what you see as the goals for improving road safety over the next ten years
• where issues are a priority to be addressed in the Road Safety Strategy.

Help the Department of Infrastructure and Transport to develop a new Strategy that meets the needs of the community and supports South Australians to safely travel to work, school, shops and their homes.

The South Eastern Freeway - Managed Motorway Measures Project, jointly funded by the Australian Government and South Australian Government, is scheduled to commence construction in April 2020.

The project will convert the existing emergency lane into a third full time travel lane and implement a Managed Motorway on both the up and down tracks of the South Eastern Freeway between Crafers and Stirling.

The three lane Managed Motorway will include an Intelligent Transport System, with variable speed limits and a Lane Use Management system. This will enable the allocation and control of lanes across the freeway to improve safety and traffic flow.
