Motorists will benefit from more Australian and NSW Government-funded projects that will improve road safety.
The Australian Government’s Road Safety Program will fund 230 new life-saving projects across New South Wales.
The Australian and NSW governments have each committed $218.6 million, for a joint investment of $437.3 million.
This funding goes to projects to reduce the risk of crashes that cause fatal or serious injuries.
The projects involve installing or upgrading safety infrastructure including wombat crossings, roundabouts, rumble strips, sealed shoulders on high-speed rural roads, kerb extensions and pedestrian refuges.
In regional NSW, the program will support safety improvements along sections of the Barton, Great Western, Illawarra, Kamilaroi, Kings, New England, Oxley, Princes and Snowy Mountains Highways, as well as Big River, Burley Griffin, Goldfields, Kidman and Waterfall Ways.
Other projects include safety upgrades and intersection improvements on local roads, shared cycle and pedestrian paths, pedestrian safety upgrades in urban areas, and school zone safety upgrades across Greater Sydney and regional NSW.
Pedestrian safety will also be enhanced with the upgrade of 174 signalised intersections.
The funding is part of a total investment of $518.3 million by the Australian and NSW governments across 2023–24 to 2025–26, to deliver road safety treatments across the state’s road network.
