A ZERO death toll over Easter is the aim of the Blessing of the Roads campaign being driven by several local governments.
In the lead-up to the busy Easter long weekend from April 2-5, drivers are reminded to be cautious and well rested when driving.
WA Local Government Association President Bill Mitchell said the road toll was lower than at the same time last year but people should not be complacent.
“It is vital we remember that even one death on our roads is too many and everyone needs to make a contribution if we are to achieve zero deaths in the long term,” he said.
The Blessing of the Roads campaign helped raise awareness about road safety in local communities.
“Blessing of the Roads brings together local roads safety partners as well as emergency service personnel to publicly bless local roads and remind road users to do the right thing no matter how long or short the journey,” Cr Mitchell said.
Several local governments will hold Blessing of the Roads ceremonies before Easter.
