NATIONAL ROAD SAFETY WEEK 2025

 

National Road Safety Week (NRSW) 2025, running from Sunday 11 May to Sunday 18 May, is an annual initiative that highlights the importance of road safety and encourages all Australians to make safer choices on our roads. Altus Traffic is proud to support NRSW by promoting a range of resources to help individuals and organisations participate actively in promoting road safety.​

Why National Road Safety Week Matters

Every year, too many lives are lost or forever changed due to road incidents. NRSW serves as a reminder that behind every statistic is a person—a family member, a friend, a colleague. By focusing on daily themes, NRSW 2025 aims to address various aspects of road safety, from speed awareness to protecting vulnerable road users.​

Take the Pledge!

A powerful way to support National Road Safety Week is by taking the official pledge to "Drive So Others Survive." This personal commitment encourages drivers to adopt safer habits behind the wheel. The pledge includes promises to eliminate distractions by not using mobile phones while driving, avoid speeding, fatigue, and driving under the influence, and to protect vulnerable road users by slowing down and giving them the space they need to be safe.

By taking the pledge, you join a community dedicated to making our roads safer. It's a simple yet impactful step that demonstrates your commitment to road safety. You can take the pledge online at roadsafetyweek.com.au. Once your pledge has been made you will be able to download your “pledge badge” and share it on your social channels and/or include in your email signature.

Road safety is a shared responsibility. By participating in National Road Safety Week, we can all contribute to creating safer roads for everyone.
