Path and road safety programs

Find useful resources and information on Council's road safety programs.

Road safety is all about making safer choices when you drive, ride, use a mobility scooter, catch public transport or walk.

Council provides travel behaviour change information on:

  • road safety
  • community transport services
  • sustainable transport.

Share the path

Council is committed to encouraging sustainable transport use, such as walking, bike riding and scooting. We are asking Coast locals and visitors to contribute to our community values of mutual respect, inclusivity and friendliness on all our shared pathways.

Our shared pathways are community spaces where pedestrians, bike and scooter riders and various users come together. Everyone wants to enjoy their time outside. The way you use our pathways is just as important as everyone else’s. Together we can embrace diversity and create a space where everyone can enjoy the pathway in their own unique way. A nice thought, that’s all it takes!

Keep left

Keep left

Stay on the left side of the pathway and don’t block the path. This simple practice helps minimise confusion and allows everyone to move comfortably and safely. By keeping left it allows others to pass easily if needed.

Give a bell

Give a bell

When approaching others from behind, call out a greeting or give a friendly ring of your bell to alert them and pass safely. This not only prevents surprises but also keeps everyone safe. Remember to slow down and pass on the right.

Cruise to connect

Cruise to connect

When you slow down, you have time to enjoy a smile or a chat with others on the path. Keep in mind that e-scooter and other personal mobility device riders must not be riding over  12km/h on shared pathways and be at least 16 years old to ride unsupervised by an adult.

Be mindful of obstacles

Be mindful of obstacles

Stay alert and adjust your speed accordingly, our paths are a not a race track. Whether it’s a wandering pet, a group of pedestrians, a sharp corner or slippery path surface being aware that the unexpected might come up keeps everyone safe.

Safe driving for seniors

With good health and the right attitude to driving older motorists should be able to keep on-road mobility and independence.

In early 2020, RACQ delivered the Years Ahead Program for Seniors at Sunshine Coast Libraries. The program is available on the RACQ website. It can help you drive safer for longer by being aware of your own capabilities.

It includes:

  • road safety issues
  • changes to road rules
  • helpful driving tips
  • important issues such as fitness and medical requirements to drive
  • options available once retired from driving.

Funding from the Queensland Government's Community Road Safety Grants Scheme supported this initiative.
