September is Rural Road Safety Month. The Australian Road Safety Foundation is calling on Shoalhaven drivers to take care on local roads as part of the national awareness campaign.  

Shoalhaven City Council Mayor Amanda Findley is encouraging the community to take part in the campaign this month.  

“Unfortunately, with rural road crashes accounting for 65% of the Australian road toll, road safety is a community issue, and it is on all of us to minimise the risk of crashes to save lives”, Clr Findley said.  

“There are many ways to get involved: from changing behaviour on and around the road, to hosting an event in your local community, school or workplace,” Clr Findley said.  

From 1-30 September the Australian Road Safety Foundation is inviting the community to:  

  • Host a pledge event in your Workplace, School or Community 

  • Share Rural Road Safety Month messages across your social media platforms and in community newsletters 

  • Get your Year 9 and 10 students RoadSet 

  • Find out more about this FREE online Edtech tool, educating students to be safer better road users 

  • 10 engaging modules covering road safety issues relating to pedestrians, passengers, cyclists, skateboard and scooter riders and ultimately becoming a safe driver. 

  • 90 minutes of road safety education 

  • Find out more at the RoadSet website.
