Safety improvements for 15 dangerous sites on Tasmanian roads

$2.57 million has been allocated to improve road safety at 15 dangerous sites across Tasmania, under the Australian Government’s Black Spot Program funding round for 2023-24.

The Black Spot Program funds safety measures such as traffic signals or roundabouts at locations where a number of serious crashes have occurred, or are at risk of occurring.

The 15 projects were recommended by the Black Spot Consultative Panel in Tasmania. This panel is comprised of local stakeholders who are best placed to ensure nominations of the highest priority and importance to the local community are recommended for approval.

Anyone can nominate a Black Spot for review, including individuals, community groups and local councils.
