National road safety week: drive so others survive

National Road Safety Week this year is ‘Drive so others Survive’, with road users encouraged to make a road safety pledge. So far, more than 73,000 pledges have already been taken online.

The state government is supporting the annual initiative of the Safer Australian Roads and Highways (SARAH) Group, which was launched by Peter Frazer OAM, following the tragic loss of his daughter Sarah at a road crash.

landmarks will be illuminated across NSW including the Forbes Town Hall, Wollongong Lighthouse and the Parkes War Memorial.

The week aims to amplify the impact of road trauma, campaigning to reduce the number of crashes, so everybody makes it home safely.

To coincide with the launch of NRSW, the NSW Government has today launched a new website, ‘Beyond the crash: Real life stories’, reinforcing that every death on our roads represents a real person.

People across NSW are encouraged to submit their own stories, which are reviewed by the Centre for Road Safety at Transport for NSW to ensure they reflect the site's purpose and meet community guidelines.
