Road Safety

Education: targeting specific road users to remind and inform them of the road rules, basic road safety issues and good driving, riding, cycling and pedestrian behaviour.
Engineering: Victorian Government funding is sought for Black Spot sites and to apply best practice engineering treatments to all new and existing road networks.
Enforcement: working with the Victorian Police and the community in targeting high risk areas and behaviour within Warrnambool.
Road Users Plan

Council recognises that road trauma exists and local government plays a role in improving the safety of our road systems. Warrnambool is a growing community which impacts on road safety and creates the need for changes to road infrastructure. It is important that current responses to road safety issues and future planning for road users is guided by best practice road safety principles.
The Warrnambool Road Users Plan provides a summary of the current crash data, road safety issues, a ‘safe systems’ framework to guide and assess the delivery of road safety initiatives in Warrnambool. It also provides a review of current and planned approaches to road safety in Warrnambool in the context of this framework.
