IN OTHER NEWS:
Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Sam Farraway said country people made up about a third of NSW's population, but over the past five years deaths on country roads made up 67 per cent of the state's road toll.
"The NSW Government is committed to reducing this trauma and that is why the majority of funding for the Safer Roads Program has been invested in regional NSW," he said.
"The Safer Roads Program is estimated to prevent about 1500 serious injuries and deaths on NSW roads over 15 years."
Projects funded under this initiative include improved curve signage, widened shoulders, vehicle activated signage and rumble strips.
