These may target drink driving, speed, fatigue, older road user safety, young drivers, pedestrian safety, bicycle safety, road safety for children, child restraint use, motorcyclist safety and vehicle safety.

RoadSafe has prioritised Alcohol and Other Drugs and Speed as their two statewide programs in 2005.
