The City's Transport Month 2025 campaign, themed “Road Safety - Share the Road Responsibly”, ran throughout October and focused on changing driver behaviour and promoting awareness among motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

At the closing Motorist Activation outside the Civic Centre, officials urged drivers to be more mindful behind the wheel.

“We play a key role in keeping traffic moving safely. Our officers monitor busy intersections, enforce traffic rules and act against dangerous behaviour like illegal stopping, speeding and blocking intersections,” said the City’s Mayco Member for Safety and Security, JP Smith.
