The Centre for Road Safety is urging the people of NSW to get behind this year’s Fatality Free Friday on May 29.
Last year, 309 people lost their lives on NSW roads, the equal lowest annual total since 1923.
Road trauma on NSW roads costs the community an estimated $5 billion each year.
Since it began in 2007 the Fatality Free Friday campaign has expanded and is now Australia’s only national community based road safety program.
Shoalhaven City Council road safety officer Kathy Wiseham is taking an inflatable life-size car around the region encouraging residents to take the Fatality Free Friday pledge.
“We’ve had lots of people signing the pledge and signing the car,” she said.
The winner of a Fatality Free Friday promotion was Bryn Nicholas won $50.
