The Road Safety Strategy for South Australia till 2031.

The 'Vision Zero' methodology and the Safe Structural approach- Vision Zero is based on the ethical conviction that everyone has the right to move around their communities safely, and that systems analysts and lawmakers bear duty to ensure secure transportation systems. It also acknowledges that motorists may make mistakes along the way, and that the road system and policies should be designed to prevent those mistakes from resulting in serious harm. It adopts a protected systematic approach, which acknowledges human weakness and incorporates levels of safety such as normal speeds, streets, cars, and people. Town officials and safe driving professionals say the city has taken a number of steps to increase safety. Reducing speeds, massive infrastructure development, and a combination of interventions directed at segregating different traffic groups as often as feasible were among them. Norwegian officials emphasized that the accomplishment was partly due to consecutive governments' persistent and intense attention on road safety, regardless of political affiliation. Adelaide and Oslo have some noticeable distinctions, such as Adelaide's wider geographic region and peripheral transit system.

Safe Roads- Pavement condition, transparency, impromptu halting places, rest spaces, and any other factors that may affect safe driving must all be considered in any approach to improve road conditions.

• Roads in the Region- When the Australian Road Assessment Program was last graded in 2013, roughly 37% of South Australia's transit system was assessed as one to two-star condition. Governments should aim to improve star ratings across the entire road network, with the goal of achieving 3-star Aus RAP ratings or better for 80 percent of travel on state roads, including a minimum of 90 percent of journeys on expressways, according to the National Road Safety Action Plan 2018-2020. RACS advises the South Australian government to make this measure a priority.

• Metropolitan roads- Segregation is necessary for the safety of our most vulnerable road passengers, such as pedestrians and cyclists. According to statistics, metropolitan Adelaide has the largest number of crashes involving these vulnerable road users, owing to the increased numbers of walkers and cyclists in these regions. People will seek innovative, affordable, and expedient modes of transportation as they seek to enhance their health and wellness, which will only compound this vulnerability as our population grows. When dispersion isn't possible, it's critical to keep the speed environment under control. To optimize the safety of all road users, roadway design is an important issue that must be carefully studied.

Safe Drivers- Driver distraction (any activity that distracts a viewer's attention away from the original objective of walking or driving securely is a severe and growing threat to road safety, and it has become more prevalent in fatal traffic accidents over the last decade. While legislation prohibiting cell phone usage while driving can be effective repellents, technical innovation and advancement can be quick, as proven by the last decade. Many devices, such as wearable tech, can now send and receive messages, talk on the phone, and monitor other Mobile applications without needing to be connected to a phone. These are equally as distracting and hazardous as using a cell phone. The significance of a strong regulatory framework that is adaptable and nimble enough to keep up with the quickly changing technological world is emphasized in the new plan.

Safe Automobiles- Older automobiles are considerably more likely to be involved in road accidents that result in death or serious injury. According to the Department of Infrastructure and Planning's latest numbers from 2018, 26% of automobiles in the South Australian workforce were 15 years or older, yet 37% of passenger cars involved in significant fatality collisions were in that age bracket. RACS believes the South Australian government should adopt policies that actually encourage the incorporation of life-saving devices in modern vehicles wherever possible, and prohibits the sale of automobiles that do not fit this requirement.
