Safety is our everyday🚙🚛🚲👷♀️👷♂️ The Westlink M7 Motorway, in Sydney’s West, is a high-speed environment. Our Incident Response and Maintenance teams respond to hundreds of events on the motorway, every month, providing cover for breakdowns and incidents, helping stranded motorists, and assisting in emergency situations. Which is why safety is our everyday and the significance of road safety and National Road Safety Week is especially important to us. This week, we are following the SARAH Group (Founder: National Road Safety Week) and joining with our partners in sharing knowledge and general information with our people to boost their road safety awareness. We encourage everyone to take the pledge #DriveSoOthersSurvive. #roadsafety #drivesootherssurvive #drivesafe #makeeveryjourneysafe #protectthosewhoprotectus #safety #zeroharm #westlinkm7

Linking community infrastructure and reconciliation through artwork 💚🖤 Westlink M7 is thrilled to share its new and improved shared path water bubbler featuring our inspiring and stunning Aboriginal Artwork, in green. The artwork, created by Dalmarri, represents our deep connections to Darug Country and is symbolic of the surrounding creeks and vegetation on the lands where we are on. Community feedback is positive and shared path users are enjoying the new bubbler, which has a new drinking fountain, two anti-bacterial bottle refill nozzles, and a dog bowl. Perfect for walkers, runners, cyclists, and commuters alike! From idea to reality, bringing this cultural community initiative to life has been a team effort. Special thanks to Glen Archibald, Karolina Kosmicki, and Daniel Lovett for their "behind-the-scenes" work and our installation and artwork partners, Service Stream and Dalmarri. Great work! The M7 shared path is a thriving place for leisure and recreation attracting people from right across Greater Sydney and beyond. The path runs for nearly 40kms alongside the Westlink M7 Motorway in Sydney's West and is popular and well-loved community infrastructure. The new bubbler installation on the path at Eastern Creek (pictured) is there for everyone to share. #communityinfrastructure #reconciliation #thrivingcommunity #WestlinkM7 

Here in Sydney, we're feeling the rush and excitement of the Tour Down Under. It’s inspired us to spread the word about cycling safety. Westlink M7’s annual “Share the Path” spring cycling community event aims to boost safety education on the popular 40km M7 shared path alongside the M7 Motorway in Sydney’s West. The event, coming up to its 10th year in November 2024, is one of the many ways we engage and foster relationships with the Greater Sydney cycling community.    For cycling enthusiasts and leisure riders alike, here’s our top cycling-safety tips to share for staying alert and safe:   ·      Look up, look around. ·      Travel at a safe pace. ·      Ring your bell or shout out. ·      Allow plenty of space. ·      Stay left, unless overtaking.   #WestlinkM7 #SharethePath #Itsforeveryone #stayalertstaysafe #Safety #westernsydney #cyclingcommunity #communityrelations
