Road safety campaign focuses on night-time highway travel

A public awareness campaign running across NPFTV programming addresses the specific risks associated with night-time inter-state road travel.

The campaign materials cover journey planning, vehicle preparation, conduct at checkpoints, and what to do in the event of a breakdown on an unlit stretch of highway.

Core guidance

• Plan journeys to arrive before nightfall wherever the schedule permits.
• Confirm that lights, tyres, spare and tools are serviceable before setting out, not at the roadside.
• Share your route and expected arrival time with someone who will notice if you do not arrive.
• In the event of a breakdown, make the vehicle visible from a distance before attempting any repair.

The campaign is produced in the citizen education strand and is being carried across the network's broadcast and digital channels.
