Rockdale City Council has responsibility
for an extensive road network that includes 281km of roads which link
to the Sydney Airport and provide links to Port Botany from Sydney’s
western regions. The majority of roads are local roads under Council
control. However, classified roads, under RTA control, carry high
volumes of traffic.
Increasing numbers of people moving
through the area, high numbers of older residents, young people,
visitors and high levels of cultural diversity, are factors that may
contribute to an increased risk of a crash on the road network.
Rockdale City Council has been involved
with the Local Government Road Safety Program since 1994, with the
employment of a Road Safety Officer. Education programs and strategies
are developed about several road safety issues including:
Speeding
Drink
Driving
Pedestrian
Safety
Bicycle
Safety
Motorcycle
Safety
Occupant
Restraints
Young
and Learner Drivers
Road
Safety Around Schools
Road Safety Strategic Plan
2006-2011
Council's Road Safety Strategic Plan
provides Council with the direction needed to address road safety
priority issues over the five year period 2006-11. This Plan is a
Council-wide strategy that shows how Council, road safety stakeholders
such as the Police, RTA and Health Service as well as the community,
can work together to make Rockdale a safer place for all road users.

Safety Strategic Plan 2006-11 or have any other questions about our
