Speed awareness and education campaign – What’s your speed?

Whether we ride a bike, scooter, e-scooter or drive a car, the impact of speeding affects us all.

To raise awareness around the potential impacts of speeding, we have been successful in receiving grant funding from the Australian Government’s Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communcations and the Arts. We encourage everyone to participate by making a pledge to drive to the speed limit or the conditions of the road, stick to 40km/h or less around schools, and ride at a slower speed on the footpath if there are a lot of pedestrians. It is a small change that can make all the difference in ensuring yours and others safety on our footpaths and roads. There are two components to our campaign:

• Raising awareness around speeding by recognising the impacts that speeding can have on the safety of primary and high schools.
• Purchasing ten solar speed devices. The first phase will have signs placed at ten locations for six months and then relocated to new locations for three months.
