Queensland Road Safety Week – Share the road
Today’s theme is share the road, and we’re encouraging Queenslanders to share the roads with others – be patient, let somebody in, give a wave of thanks to others doing the right thing, keep a look out for bicycles, motorcycles and pedestrians, know and follow the road rules.
Share the road
• Know and follow the road rules
• Share the road by driving courteously and patiently
• Look out for and give all other road users the extra space they need – especially trucks, cyclists and motorcyclists.
Visit Join The Drive for event information and to find out how you can get involved and follow the conversation on social media using the hashtag #SpeakUpforRoadSafety.
Queensland Road Safety Week is a chance for all Queenslanders to be involved in making our roads safer.
‘Speaking up for road safety’ is the focus and we’re encouraging the whole community to have their say.
Communities, schools, sporting groups and workplaces are encouraged to support the Week through hosting local events or sharing road safety information among staff, students, colleagues, family and friends.
You can share a personal story, suggest a road safety tip, talk to your kids, family and friends about staying safe, or make a pledge to improve just one thing to be safer on the road.
Each day of the Week will focus on different road safety issues, kicking off with speed on Monday, drink and drug driving on Tuesday, distractions, seatbelts and child restraints on Wednesday, sharing the road on Thursday and fatigue on Friday.
