abstract="In response to the rising road toll during 2000, the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA), Police and the Motor Accidents Authority (MAA) developed an integrated, multi-agency initiative in Western Sydney. Lowering the road toll and reducing injury levels were key targets of the campaign. In 2003 Operation Westsafe continues to be a major road safety enforcement and public education campaign that addresses the key behaviours of speeding, drink driving and the non-use of restraints. A central feature of the program is the deployment of up to 60 police officers dedicated to addressing unsafe driving behaviours. The enforcement is supported by a major RTA/MAA public education program, highlighting police presence and enforcement activity.<p />",
