National Road Safety Week - 14-21 May 2023

Police

NT Police are gearing up for National Road Safety Week and urging all drivers to take extra precautions on the roads. With the aim of reducing the number of road accidents and fatalities, the police are increasing their presence on the roads and stepping up enforcement of road safety laws.

During National Road Safety Week, which runs from May 14-21, NT Police will conduct roadside registration and roadworthy checks, speed enforcement, and breath testing to ensure that all drivers comply with the law. The police are also reminding drivers to wear seatbelts, obey traffic signals, and avoid distractions such as mobile phones while driving.

Automatic Number Plate Recognition Technology is now operating across the Northern Territory with our Road Safety Traffic Fleet. Remember to check your Rego before we do.

Road crashes are a major cause of injury and death in the Northern Territory, and National Road Safety Week is an important opportunity to raise awareness of the dangers of reckless and irresponsible driving. By working together, NT Police and the community can help make our roads safer for everyone.

So, let's all do our part to ensure this National Road Safety Week is successful. Remember, it only takes a moment of carelessness to cause a serious accident. So, let's all drive safely and responsibly and help make our roads safer for all.
