New South Wales, News, Road upgrades

$31.9 million in funding for 66 dangerous NSW crash sites

A total of at 66 dangerous sites across New South Wales will share in $31.9 million in funding across 2023-24 for safety upgrades under the Black Spot Program.

Funded by the Australian Government, the aim of the Black Spot Program is to improve safety at locations where crashes are occurring, or are risk of occurring, through the addition of safety upgrades such as pedestrian crossings, guardrails and roundabouts.

Anyone can nominate a Black Spot for consideration. Consultative panels in each state and territory are responsible for considering nominations and recommending the highest priority sites for approval.

The NSW panel includes representatives from Transport for NSW, the Institute of Public Works Engineering Australasia, the Traffic Management Association of Australia, Local Government NSW, the NRMA, the NSW Police Force, the Centre for Road Safety and the Federation of P&C Associations.
