Staying safe on our roads

Road Safety May 2026 campaign
Published On

Speeding remains the biggest contributing factor in fatal crashes in our region and too many Central Coast families continue to be impacted by dangerous decisions on our roads.

Most injury crashes happen on local roads and involve local drivers, which is why road safety is something that affects every one of us.

This May, Council is working closely with NSW Police and Transport for NSW through the Local Government Road Safety Program to improve safety on Central Coast roads.

This will include an increased police presence on local roads, alongside education and awareness messages aimed at helping drivers make safer choices.

Highway patrol officers will be out in force across the region, enforcing speed limits and reminding us all to slow down and drive like our lives, and the lives of others, depend on it.

National Road Safety Week also runs from 17–24 May and I encourage everyone in our community to reflect on how they travel on our roads.

I invite you to take the National Road Safety Week pledge to drive so others survive, and to make road safety a priority every time you get behind the wheel.

By working together with police and our community, we can help keep the Central Coast safe. 

Mayor Lawrie McKinna
