As Tasmania hosts the 11^th National Road Safety Week, landmarks around Australia will be lit up in yellow to remember those affected by road trauma.

National Road Safety Week will be held from the 5-12 May and is an initiative of the Safer Australian Roads and Highways (SARAH) Group, established by Peter Frazer after his 23-year-old daughter was tragically killed in a preventable road crash.

The Tasmanian Government is eager for our State to host National Road Safety Week and take our own road safety messages to a national audience.

This year’s theme is Drive So Others Survive. Tasmanians can pledge to drive safely at www.roadsafetyweek.com.au and show support by wearing a yellow ribbon, which are available from Service Tasmania and RACT outlets statewide.
