Is the Safer Roads Program separate to the $240 million Statewide Blackspot Program?
The Safer Roads Program is a new program that builds upon the success of current and former blackspot initiatives, with carefully targeted safety improvements for high risk locations throughout Victoria. The $240 million Statewide Blackspot Program, which began in 2000 and finished in 2004, was a four year initiative that has had all funding fully allocated to more than 1100 safety improvement projects across the state. A further $240 million was invested in this Safer Roads Program between 2004 and 2007.
