Overview
In an ideal world, harm caused by road safety issues is uncommon and unacceptable. The Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety – Queensland (CARRS-Q) was established in 1996 to work towards an ideal road safe world and address the enormous human, economic and social costs resulting every year from road crashes. Investigating people’s behaviour and conducting high impact research influencing national and international policy, CARRS-Q is reshaping road safety.
