Slow Down Around Road Workers

Tasmanian Government

The Tasmanian Government is standing alongside road safety advocates and the Civil Contractors Federation to launch the Your Speed is Our Safety campaign.

This campaign has been reminding motorists since 2016 to take extra care around roadworks, for the safety of our road workers.

Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Kerry Vincent, said this campaign was vitally important.

"Everyone deserves to get home safely after a hard day's work," Minister Vincent said.

"It's important to remind Tasmanians to look out for their fellow Tasmanians on the road.

"This is everyone's responsibility, and we all must ensure we're doing our bit to make sure that people are getting home to their loved ones.

"It's a worthy cause and the Tasmanian Government is proud to be a long-term supporter of this campaign.

"I am sure that it has saved lives.

"Through our 2030 Strong Plan for Tasmania's Future we are investing in road safety across the State."

The Tasmanian Government has invested $175,000 into the campaign.
