Slow Down in Our Street

Slow Down in Our Street is a local road safety project jointly funded by TNSW and Ku-ring-gai Council. 

Every driver travelling on Ku-ring-gai roads is asked to Slow Down in Our Street and make our local roads safer for all road users. 

Speed is the highest identifiable factor in crashes within Ku-ring-gai LGA. TNSW data shows that in the Ku-ring-gai LGA in 2022, 13.1% of all crashes involved speed. 

The likelihood of being in a crash, resulting in a serious casualty, rises significantly with even minor changes in travelling speed.

Australian research shows that the risk of a serious casualty crash doubles with just a 5 km/h speed increase on 60 km/h urban roads.

Council will also be spreading the Slow Down message via social media, outdoor advertising and Police enforcement where possible.
