Australia’s road toll is rising, and new warnings suggest the country is drifting away from its goal of halving deaths by 2030.

Industry leaders and victim advocates are calling for urgent action, from safer street design to changes in driver behaviour, as families continue to live with the consequences of road trauma every day.
