Australia's Road Toll Surge: Vulnerable Users at Risk
Update: 2025-12-29
Description
Australias road toll has surged, with pedestrian deaths rising by 20% nationwide. Every state except the Northern Territory saw increases, with Western Australias fatalities jumping by 75%. The cause isnt speeding or pandemic hangovers, but larger vehicles like SUVs and utes, which pose a greater risk to pedestrians. Experts warn of a self-reinforcing cycle unless policies change to protect vulnerable road users.
