'Share the Road' is a joint ACT Policing and ACT Government initiative focusing on road user behaviour affecting vulnerable road users - cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians.

The 'Share the Road' initiative focuses on:

different road users travelling on roads or footpaths at opposing speeds
courteous and respectful behaviour between road users to assist in the flow of traffic and to keep our roads safe
giving way to police and emergency services vehicles when they approach with lights and sirens on
reducing the rate of injury and fatalities on ACT roads.

Promoting a safe, respectful and harmonious relationship between road users is crucial to reducing the number of collisions on ACT roads. Regardless of how you use the road, road safety is everyone’s responsibility
