Take Fatality Free Friday pledge to make every day safer on our roads

Zero deaths on Australian roads for one day.

That is the annual Fatality Free Friday objective for today’s (May 27, 2022) national road safety campaign.

Toowoomba Regional Council today reaffirmed the road safety pledge with the Queensland Police Service, the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service, the Queensland Ambulance Service, the Department of Transport and Main Roads and community road safety education organisations at Grand Central.

Toowoomba Region Mayor Paul Antonio said Council was pleased to renew the pledge and determined to raise road safety awareness and work toward saving lives on our roads.

“Fatality Free Friday sharpens our focus on collective and individual responsibilities for all road users – including pedestrians, cyclists, public transport passengers, motorcyclists and motorists – so we’re very proud to be supporting this initiative,” Mayor Antonio said.

“We lose too many people to road crashes every year, and we must do everything we can to improve this. It starts with every single one of us being aware of others on our roads.
