“A massive public education and awareness campaign; partnerships with all levels of government and all aspects of civil society; enhanced law enforcement operations focusing on driver and pedestrian behaviour and 24 hour patrols particularly in high risk areas – intensified law enforcement operations. Research shows weekends, late-night travel and fatigue periods are high risk. We will increase roadblocks, checks for vehicle roadworthiness, driver licenses, seatbelt and child-restraint use, as well as clamp down on speeding and drunken driving,” says Creecy.
