Road Safety Display Trailer
WALGA's RoadWise Program received funding through the Road Trauma Trust Fund to build a number of road safety display trailers which aim to assist members of the community road safety network to promote road safety at community events across the state. All resources and merchandise are contained within the trailer, which is easily transported and quick to assemble. For more information or bookings contact Kendra Green (Road Safety Officer - Great Southern) on phone 9892 1145 or email roadwisegs@westnet.com.au.
| A built-in television, laptop, competition box, brochure displays and poster displays make promoting key road safety messages easy. An external power source or generator is required to power the lights, television and laptop. | The new trailers open up on three sides, providing enhanced access and protection from the elements. Lighting is also provided so the trailer can be used at night. Branding for the trailers aligns to Towards Zero, the WA road safety strategy. |
