Have your say on road safety

Toowoomba residents are being invited to have their say about the region’s road safety plan.

Toowoomba Regional Council has released its draft Toowoomba Region Road Safety Strategy 2024-2028, which is designed to reduce road trauma in the region.

Councillor Trevor Manteufel said the council was “working towards a vision of zero road deaths and serious injuries in our region.”

“The 2024-2028 draft strategy proposes a framework for Council, its key road safety stakeholders and the broader community to work on this vision together,’’ he said.

“Loss of life and serious injuries from road crashes have a devastating impact on our community.

“With a network of nearly 6,700 kilometres of sealed and unsealed roads, the safety and wellbeing of all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, is a high priority for Council.”
Cr Manteufel said the council was now inviting community feedback on the draft strategy.

“Providing safe roads and paths in our region is vital and in everyone’s interest. We welcome feedback from the whole community,” Cr Manteufel said.

“The 2024-2028 draft strategy can be viewed on council’s website and at customer service centres.”
