Roads and Maritime Services' (replacing Roads and Traffic Authority) leading role in Australian road safety was highlighted at a recent national conference.
The NSW Centre for Road Safety was Roads and Maritime Services (replacing Roads and Traffic Authority) representative at the Australian Road Safety Research, Policing and Education Conference in Adelaide.
The centre delivered eight papers at the conference, with topics ranging from drug driving to child restraints.
Roads and Maritime Services' (replacing Roads and Traffic Authority) trial of Intelligent Speed Adaptation technology attracted particular attention. ISA is an in-car speed warning device that advises drivers of the speed limit from inside their vehicle. It can also physically limit a vehicle's travelling speed.
The trial car fitted with the technology was driven across three States for the first time.
The next conference will be hosted by Roads and Maritime Services (replacing Roads and Traffic Authority) in Sydney from 11-13 November 2009.
