this road.*
What we know
There are a lot of heavy vehicles using this section of
highway and plenty of people walking around the town
during the cruise ship season. There’s a steep rise in
the road which means drivers don’t have a clear view of
everything ahead. We also know some elderly people
find it tricky to cross this busy road.
What we’re proposing *2018 data is not yet complete. Data is for crashes as recorded in CAS at 31/07/2019.

No matter what
causes a crash, speed
can be the difference
between walking away or
being carried away.
Speed also reduces the
time you have to react to
a mistake – yours or
someone else’s.
