The Hodgman Liberal Government is committed to working with the community to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes on our roads.
This Easter, we urge all Tasmanian road users to be accountable for their own behaviour at all times.
The Government is investing in safety improvements on roads across the State, particularly on the Midland Highway, our most important transport corridor.
We are also working to raise road safety awareness, with recent campaigns targeting our most vulnerable road users, such as cyclists.
Over the holiday period, Tasmania Police officers will also be making a concerted effort through Operation Crossroads to deter the dangerous behaviours that too often cause serious crashes, from drink-driving to excessive speeding.
The bottom-line, however, will always be that every crash is avoidable if road users take responsibility for their own actions and look out for others.
Motorists are particularly urged to drive to the conditions and be mindful of road works.
