Operating safely

Safety on the road is one of our top priorities, and a key driver of many of our operating decisions and project developments on the state highway network. With a focus on reducing deaths and serious injuries on the roads, we constantly explore new opportunities and develop new initiatives – such as the ‘safe road system ’, which aims to achieve safer roads and roadsides, safer vehicles, safer drivers and safer speeds.
