We are committed to substantially reducing road trauma through the implementation of the Safe System principles. Crash analysis shows that more than 70% of all serious crashes are due to drivers making mistakes, rather than deliberate risk taking behaviour like speeding or drink driving.

The Safe System approach recognises that the road system needs to be more forgiving of driver error. This requires a collaborative multi-agency approach to address speeds, road infrastructure and the safety of vehicles, whilst continuing to improve behaviour through education and enforcement.

We also recognise that it takes a holistic approach to planning and delivering safe outcomes. Our focus areas to delivering safe outcomes include:

• Movement (efficiency)
• Sustainability including environment, social and economic; and
• Customers

Our safety processes have been established to help minimise road trauma. We conduct crash investigations, deliver road safety programmes, provide audit reporting resources and apply the Road Safety Management System (ROSMA). Through this, we aim to achieve our vision that no one should die or be seriously injured on the State's road network.
