Road safety

Road safety is everyone's responsibility. We are committed to reducing the number of deaths on Queensland roads, but we can't do that without your help.

Below are some of the strategies we employ, and also information relating to traffic and road use in general.

In Queensland driving into floodwater is the number one cause of flood-related deaths. Cars are designed to keep us safe on the road but once you hit water, it becomes a completely different story. It doesn't matter what car you drive, or how good you are at driving - as soon as you enter floodwater, your car can’t protect you.
