Traffic Safety Culture Report
Road user behaviour is large contributor to traffic collisions. Understanding road users’ attitudes, and how that relates to behaviour, can help inform traffic safety initiatives. The results indicate that overall the culture is positive, but there is still room for improvement with respect to behaviour, and what is considered acceptable behaviour, on our roads.
