Cycling Safety Forum

The Road Safety Council addresses road safety for cyclists through its Safe System approach – safe road use, safe roads and roadsides, safe speeds and safe vehicles. 

To address the increasing trend in serious crashes in cycling, the RAC, on behalf of the Road Safety Council, has begun the process of looking at the issues and solutions surrounding cycling safety.


The first Cycling Safety Forum was held on Saturday 14 May 2011.  This facilitated forum featured prominent Australian speakers who specialise in vulnerable road user safety.  Below is a copy of their presentations.


The first forum looked at teasing out the issues for cyclists and the second forum that is planned for late 2011 will delve into the issues and list solutions that may be applicable for Western Australia.
