  7. More people are killed on Australian roads.

    "Deaths on Australian roads have increased every year since 2020. This is despite the Australian government’s commitment to Vision Zero – having zero deaths or serious injuries on our roads by 2050."

    "Unfortunately, 1,317 road deaths were recorded in 2025, a 1.9% increase from 2024. Land transport accidents also remain a leading cause of death for children and young adults, and the third leading cause of injury hospitalisations." >>

    Comments: To "look at the entire system of road use" one must not just have the car as the road user in mind but the entire mobility design and their associated industries. The focus should be on public infrastructure that enable active and safe mobility (walking and cycling) for all. "Good mobility design" does not kill, maim, pollute or leads to planetary heating.

  13. FFS, another motor killing in Coburg, that's 4 this year. That's an 800% increase in motor killings over the 15yr long term average of 1 every 2 yrs.

    This intersection is notorious for being dangerous and scary even though it's an intersection between two roads with a signed speed limit of 40km/h.
