This study aimed to report on car driver, motorcyclist, and bicyclist safety indicators on Melbourne roads, including: levels of seat belt use by drivers and passengers; levels of child restraint usage; levels of helmet and conspicuous clothing use by bicyclists; levels of helmet and protective clothing use by motorcyclists; vehicle occupancy rates; and speed profiles. Target groups and road safety issues that need to be addressed through enforcement, education and advertising campaigns are discussed, as are the proposed recommendations aimed at increasing the safety of road users.
