September is Rural Road Safety month. For 6 years, Australian Road Safety Foundation have created this national awareness campaign to highlight the additional risks that occur when driving on rural and remote roads across Australia. In rural areas, the rate of serious road-related injury is nearly double compared to major cities. The idea is for this initiative to bring awareness and encourage all road users to help make a significant reduction in road trauma.

July 15-19 is Rural Road Safety Awareness Week, when we focus on the roadways in the more open areas of the US. Did you know that 30 people die each day from rural roadway departure crashes? (Source: FHWA) While many factors contribute to accidents, when we control what we can -- such as driver speed and attention -- we increase everyone's odds of arriving safely. So please, always eliminate distractions before you begin a drive and keep your focus on the road. #ruralroadsafety #RRSAW24 #Radarsign #safedriving #ruralAmerica

The third week of July is Rural Road Safety Awareness Week (RRSAW). GHSA's report, funded by State Farm, reveals alarming statistics: There were 85,002 fatalities on rural roads from 2016 to 2020, with a 62% higher risk of dying in a crash compared to urban roads. This high rate is driven by factors such as a lack of safety resources, simpler infrastructure, and risky driver behaviors like impaired driving and speeding. Let's work together to promote safer rural roads. Learn more about our findings and recommendations to improve safety at https://lnkd.in/eXPDTi6B. #RRSAW #RoadSafety #GHSA
