Road Safety

Most people travel on South Australian roads each day, whether it’s by car, bus, bike or on foot. While many of us arrive at our destination in one piece, some people aren’t so lucky.

About 22 people are injured on SA roads every day - the roads can be a dangerous place.

MAC, SA Police, Department for Planning, Transport and Inftrastructure and other Government departments have the challenge of reducing the number of crashes and their impact on people’s lives.

MAC helps people make smart decisions when they’re on the road as drivers, passengers, riders or pedestrians. We do this by running a series of road safety ad campaigns that focus on issues including speeding, drink and drug driving, seatbelts, fatigue and pedestrians.

We also sponsor a number of road safety initiatives such as SAPOL’s Road Safety Education Program, free transport at the Schoolies Festival and Community Road Safety Groups around the State who implement projects in their local area.

Infrastructure projects that help make our roads safer and reduce crash risk are also funded.
