Description

The NSW Centre for Road Safety was set up as part of a restructure of the Roads and Traffic Authority NSW (RTA) road safety group. The purpose of the Centre is to implement the NSW Government's State Plan priorities of safer roads and improved driver behaviour. The centre became operational from January 1, 2008 with four divisions:

• behaviour
• vehicles
• technology
• road environment

The centre has been charged with developing:

• advertising campaigns designed to make speeding become socially unacceptable
• tests of new safety technology for both vehicles and the road environment
• industry awards for innovation in safety technology
• safety classifications for vehicles
• best practice design models for road building and maintenance
