THE NSW APPROACH TO REDUCING HEAVY VEHICLE CRASHES

James McGuire

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Heavy vehicles present a significant road safety challenge because of the long distances they travel and their large size and mass compared to other vehicles. In 2001 there were over 2,700 fatal, injury and non-casualty-tow away-crashes in New South Wales involving a heavy vehicle. This costs the community about $175 million. The Roads and Traffic Authority, as the lead agency for road safety outcomes in NSW is accountable for ensuring that effective measures are in place, at both the strategic and operational level, to provide measurable benefits to the community in terms of reduced road trauma from heavy vehicle crashes. (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E209724.
