Road safety enforcement data
The data provides information on road safety enforcement activities undertaken across the Australian states and territories from 2008, including:
- unlicensed driving
- random roadside alcohol breath tests
- roadside drug tests
- speeding infringements
- mobile phone use while driving infringements
- seatbelt infringements
The series is collated from data collected by multiple organisations with varied definitions and data collection practices are not fully consistent across states and territories. Please see the data dictionary and the dashboard for more information.
BITRE is working with data owners to introduce more consistent definitions, address data gaps, and investigate opportunities to streamline the data collection and sharing processes. This will improve the value of this data series for policy makers, including for reporting on progress on the National Road Safety Strategy 2021-30 and National Road Safety Action Plan 2023-25.
