The Tablelands Area Road Safety Program has taken on the challenge to educate the community of Bathurst and surrounding areas about the correct way to use a roundabout.
The three main rules when approaching a roundabout are to slow down, give way and to indicate. The Round a Roundabout project will deliver this information to the community.
Road safety officer Iris Dorsett said it was clear many local drivers did not know how to properly negotiate a roundabout.
“Hopefully this campaign will improve the use of roundabouts by motorists, reduce the number of accidents occurring at roundabouts and see a smoother flow of traffic within Bathurst and other areas where there are a number of roundabouts,” Ms Dorsett said.
The road safety campaign will be funded by Roads and Maritime Services and delivered by Blayney and Bathurst Regional councils.
