Friday 31 May 2024 is Fatality Free Friday.
The Rural City of Murray Bridge are supporting the Australian Road Safety Foundation (ARSF) to raise awareness of the importance of road safety in our local communities throughout May.
Road Trauma has a devastating ripple effect on families, schools, emergency services and the wider community;
- Approximately 1,200 people die on Australian roads every year
- On average, that’s more than three people every day
- More than 3,000 people are recorded on the Australian Trauma Registry every year with very severe injuries
- The annual cost to the national economy is approx. $30 billion
- That’s approx. $82 million per day
Road safety is up to all of us – whether you are a driver, passenger, pedestrian, cyclist, use a scooter or a skateboard. We all play a part in reducing the impacts of road trauma and building road safety resilience. Each year the Australian Road Safety Foundation invites all road users to be the change they want to see on the road by choosing road safety for a Fatality Free Future.
