Police will be out in force these holidays trying to ensure everyone gets to their destination safely.
The annual Operation Roadwise will run from December 17 until January 5, with police implementing strategically coordinated and tactically-focused approach, targeting the key contributing factors to road trauma, including excessive speed, driver distraction, restraint and seat belt non-compliance, fatigue and impaired driving.
Those planning to travel during this period can expect to see an increase in vehicles travelling on the major freeways and highways as people hit the road to see families.
As part of the operation, extra police will be on the major arterial roads during this holiday period and speed cameras will be set up in identified speed and high collision locations throughout the state.
