Look Out Before You Step Out

Taking risks and not being mindful on the roads can end in tragedy. It’s important to have your head in the moment, and make safe decisions. 

All road users are pedestrians at some time or other. Transport NSW research shows there is an even spread of fatalities and serious injuries across all ages, 17-60+ years, although males make up the majority of pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries on NSW roads.

Federation Council is working with Roads and Maritime Services and the Centre for Road Safety to expand the ‘Look out before you step out’ campaign to combat the number of pedestrians hit on the state’s roads and bring the road toll Towards Zero.

The Look Out Before You Step Out campaign aims to improve pedestrian safety, particularly on higher risk urban roads.

More than 1,000 pedestrians are struck across NSW each year and the aim of the initiative is to drive that number down.

Highly visible pavement stickers have been installed at key high traffic areas in the main streets of Corowa, Mulwala, Howlong, Urana and Oaklands to remind pedestrians to cross at the safest locations and to make safe decisions when crossing the road.
