Mr. Sam Waide:

I thank the Senator for her question. I will answer part of the question and I welcome my colleagues' views on this as well. At the heart of the road safety strategy is road safety. It is outcome-based. It aims to reduce serious injuries and fatalities by 50% by 2030. We have developed this strategy cognisant of wider policy strategies, including the climate change challenge and the transport strategies developed with industry players and others. The road safety strategy has been developed with all those in mind. For the RSA, road safety does not single out any one particular user or try to shame one particular user into doing less or more of something. It is encouraging, facilitating and enabling all road users to share the road respectfully and that includes vulnerable road users.

On climate change and the reduction in emissions of vehicles being used, the RSA, as a road safety authority, has not got into that.
