Safety improvements will be made at 284 high-risk road sites across Australia through the 2025-26 Black Spot Program.
The new projects include 84 black spot treatments in New South Wales and 20 in South Australia, supported by an increase in the program's annual budget from $110 million to $150 million.
Black Spot safety upgrades are estimated to reduce crashes causing death and injury by about 30 per cent at treated sites.
Local Black Spot Consultative Panels - made up of local stakeholders - recommended the NSW and South Australia projects.
A further 180 upgrades have previously been announced in Western Australia, Victoria, Tasmania and Queensland for 2025-26.
Since 2022, more than 1000 Black Spot projects have been approved nationwide, with 453 completed. Around half of all funding goes to addressing dangerous roads in regional Australia.
