People living in and around Tamworth will have a safer trip home thanks to more than $75,000 in funding to improve a known crash sites under the 2024–25 Black Spot Program. 

The Blackspot Program will fund safety improvements to Daruka Road, installing barrier, signage and retro-reflective pavement markers.

This project will make an important contribution towards reducing serious injuries and deaths for all road users in Tamworth. 

“Road safety, of course, is a shared responsibility, and this is a timely reminder to be extra vigilant and to slow down on the roads so everyone can get home safely from every journey.” said Senator Tim Ayres.

The Black Spot Program funds a range of safety measures at locations where serious crashes have occurred, or are at risk of occurring. 

This is part of the Government’s response to the worsening road toll which includes progressively doubling Roads to Recovery funding from $500 million to $1 billion a year and delivering a nationally-harmonised set of high-quality and timely data to inform road safety decision making.

““Local communities know where their most dangerous road locations are and their ability to nominate projects under this program and work with state and local experts in reviewing nominations is why this program is so successful.” said Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Carol Brown.
