Planning for Road SafetyGeorge Mavroyeni – Executive Director, Major Projects
(former Executive Director, Road Safety and Network Access) May 2011
Road safety strategy / action plan
Fundamental aspects of road safety policies and plans:– Results focus– Coordination between agencies– Adequate legislation and judicial
practices– Adequate funding and resources– Advocacy and promotional
activity– Monitoring and evaluation– Research and development
Strategy
Action plan Action plan
Setting targets
Victoria– 30% reduction in fatalities (2008-2017)– 30% reduction in serious injuries (2008-2017)
Australia– 40% reduction in fatalities (2001-2010)– Western Australia – Towards Zero
Other national targets– Norway Vision Zero approach– Sweden In the long term nobody should be killed or seriously
injured in accidents within the road transport system.– Japan Halve fatalities in ten years – i.e. 2,500 fatalities
or less by 2018.– Poland 50% reduction in fatalities by 2013 compared with
2003
Road safety strategy – modelling process
Target setting model– Research and evidence based approach– Capable of continual updating and enhancement– Predicts effects of measures in isolation– Predicts effects of measures in combination– Accounts for future macro-trends in trauma
Forecast gains – individual initiatives
Performance of individual initiatives in isolation

Land use planning
Victoria circa 2036:– Estimated 7.4 million people– Estimated 5.6 million people in Melbourne
Effect on traffic– In 2006 there were 12.6m car trips > predicted to be
15.7m by 2036– Even if we double the public transport capacity,
private vehicle trips will increase by 24 per cent

Access management strategy
Access management Focuses on ensuring the safety and efficiency of the road network,
by requiring appropriate access to adjoining properties.
The VicRoads Access Management Policy Gives all stakeholders in the land use planning and development
process a clear understanding of the matters which VicRoads will take into account when assessing applications for access.
Limited access arrangements
Land use planning
Protection of reserves for future road development The right to acquire land for road development purposes Locating schools away from arterial roads Aim to minimise and reduce roads trips Work opportunities close to home
Planning challenges
Making best use of the existing road space to manage travel demand and congestion
Increasing public transport mode share and private vehicle occupancy
Planning challenges
Maintenance and renewal of a growing and ageing road network.
Planning challenges
Community demands and community acceptance of change
Supporting changing demographics, urban renewal and higher density development
Planning challenges
Developing longer term integrated land and transport plans
Planning and securing reservations
