NATIONAL ROAD SAFETY STRATEGY – AUSTRALIA
A joint federal, state and territory initiative the National Road Safety Strategy aims to reduce Australia’s annual number of fatalities by at least 50 per cent by 2030 (from 1200 per annum in 2020) and to reduce the annual number of serious injuries by at least 30 per cent by 2030 (from 40,000 in 2020.)
The ultimate goal is to put Australia on a path to achieve Vision Zero by 2050. The strategy seeks to target improvements in 3 key areas: Safe roads, Safe vehicles and Safe road use. Speed management is embedded within all three.
These improvements are mapped to 9 priority areas (10 counting speed) with SGESCO-MAX actively delivering solutions in four key areas: Heavy Vehicle Safety, Workplace Road Safety, Protecting Vulnerable Road users and Speed management.
ROAD TO ZERO – NEW ZEALAND
Road To Zero is Aotearoa – New Zealand’s vision for 2050 where no one is killed or seriously injured in road crashes.
As a step towards achieving this vision, New Zealand has set a target reducing deaths and serious injuries by 40% by 2030. Based on 2017 figures, New Zealand’s death toll is 7.9 people per 100,000, compared to Australia’s 5 per 100,000.
The country will be targeting in five key areas with SGESCO-MAX aiming to assist with vehicle safety and work-related road safety.
It’s why our tagline is Make Life Safer for Everyone.
