Risk Assessment

Driving down Anzac Parade on a rainy night presents significant risks due to wet road surfaces, poor visibility, and the presence of other road users. Evaluating the likelihood and consequences, both wet road surfaces and poor visibility have high risk rankings. Current controls include soft and hard barriers, traffic signals, speed cameras, and safety features like seatbelts. Recommended improvements involve signage, public awareness campaigns, increased nighttime lighting, and technology to aid road conditions. Drivers must prioritize the safety of themselves and others by understanding and managing these hazards.
