Opportunities for suppliers and #contractors to deliver safer roads through government's black spot funding with new #solarlighting, #linemarking and #trafficcalming measures, and the clearing of vegetation. This is a welcome expenditure by federal and state governments. 1,266 people tragically lost their lives on Australian #roads in 2023, marking a 7.3 per cent increase from the 12-month period ending December 2022. The rate of annual road fatalities per 100,000 people currently stands at 4.8, which is a 4.8 per cent year-on-year increase. #roadsafety #infrastructure #blackspots #NRATExpo Roads Australia, Austroads, Roadmarking Industry Association of Australia, Australian Flexible Pavement Association (AfPA), NTRO - National Transport Research Organisation, National Roads & Traffic Expo https://lnkd.in/gVU5v6Kb

**Why It’s Crucial to Consider Vulnerable Road Users in Temporary Traffic Management** When installing temporary traffic management, it's essential to prioritize the safety of all road users, especially vulnerable ones like pedestrians, cyclists, and individuals with disabilities. These groups are more at risk in construction zones and areas with temporary traffic changes. By ensuring clear signage, safe walkways, we can protect these users from potential hazards and ensure smooth, safe passage through work zones. At Barleys Traffic Management Pty Ltd, we take this responsibility seriously. Our team is dedicated to implementing the highest safety standards, with a keen focus on the needs of vulnerable road users. With our expertise, experience, and commitment to excellence, you can trust us to deliver traffic management solutions that prioritize safety and efficiency for everyone on the road. #PedestrianManagement #BarleysTM #TrafficControl #TrafficManagement
