Road safety
Road safety is everyone’s responsibility, regardless of how you use the road. Follow the road rules to keep our roads safe.
Road Safety is a key priority for ACT Policing, who work in partnership with the ACT Government and City Services Directorate to support the ACT Government’s Road Safety Strategy.
The aim of the strategy is to reduce road trauma in Canberra and includes targeted traffic enforcement and road safety awareness campaigns.
ACT Policing actively targets the ‘fatal five’ with high-visibility and unmarked patrols. Our Road Policing portfolio has three dedicated teams committed to enforcing traffic laws and promoting safer driving on ACT roads.
- Road Safety Operations Team
- Collision Investigation and Reconstruction Team
- Mobile Traffic
ACT Policing also collaborates with non- Government stakeholders such as Pedal Power on road safety awareness campaigns that benefit the ACT community.
