Road Safety Week 2023 - Who is your Road Safety Hero?

Mar 22

Written By SADD

This year’s Road Safety Week, 15-21 May, is on the same dates as the UN Global Road Safety Week. We are celebrating our “Road Safety Heroes” and linking in messages around sustainable and active travel to match the UN theme Streets for Life #RethinkMobility.

Everyone can be a Road Safety Hero - including YOU. Use this week to celebrate anyone who is making our roads safer and shout out the people who really make a difference to you. This is your chance to speak up for safe journeys on the road because all have a part to play in keeping our roads safe.

You as Kaitiaki o Ara/SADD students play such an important role in the road safety space, and all your contributions are highly valued. You are our Road Safety Heroes, because you want to make a change, and you speak up!

There are many ways you can get involved in the RSW such as going yellow, connecting with your community partners, running an activity, creating a poster and raising awareness in your school, or simply posting on social media. Whatever suits your schedule, any contribution is valued.
