On average, four people are killed and 80 are seriously injured every day on Australia's roads. Almost everyone has, at some stage, been affected by a road crash.

Australian Transport Ministers have asked the heads of transport and roads agencies around the country to work together to prepare a new 10-year National Road Safety Strategy for the period from 2011 to 2020.

The new strategy is intended to set an ambitious long-term vision for road safety improvement in Australia and to guide national action over the coming decade. Transport agencies have been working hard to develop a draft National Road Safety Strategy and would like to hear from the community on its proposals.

The draft National Road Safety Strategy 2011-2020 contains a range of initiatives and interventions in four key areas - Safe Roads, Safe Speeds, Safe Vehicles and Safe People.

The draft strategy outlines broad directions for the future of Australian road safety, proposed initiatives for the first three years and a range of options for further consideration as the strategy progresses.

Transport and roads agency Chief Executives invite your feedback on any aspect of the strategy.

The consultation period has been extended and closes on 18 February 2011.

You can provide your feedback until 18 February 2011 by:
