Road plans and reports

The Victorian Government is committed to significantly reducing road trauma by 2030, to put us on the path to zero road deaths and serious injuries by 2050.

Victoria has a long history of treating the safety of our school children as a top priority, dating back to 1975 when the School Crossing Supervisor Program was put into place in partnership with State and Local governments.

The Road Management Plan sets out the circumstances, the manner and the standards to which the road authority will perform its inspection, maintenance and repair responsibilities.

Victoria's strong population growth continues to place pressure on our transport system.

The Victorian Railway Crossing Safety Strategy 2018 to 2027 aims to save lives and reduce incidents at level crossings. The Strategy was developed by the Victorian Railway Crossing Safety Steering Committee (VRCSSC) and was launched on Thursday 16 August 2018, to coincide with Rail Safety Week.

We are testing new ways to manage population growth and keep freight moving, while reducing the impact of trucks on the environment and residents.

VicRoads develops policy relating to road management functions such as the Help Phones, Tree and Roadside memorial policies.

The Victorian freight task is predicted to increase from around 360 million tonnes in 2014 to nearly 900 million tonnes in 2051. The Victorian Freight Plan: Delivering the Goods and Moving More with Less, Victoria’s high-productivity freight vehicle (HPFV) plan, outlines our commitment to HPFVs and expanding access to the road network.

Electric vehicles form a key part of our commitment to transition to lower emissions across Victoria's transport system.

Maintenance is a critical part of running Victoria’s road network. A functioning and well-maintained network supports safer and more reliable journeys for all road users, whether you’re driving a car or truck, riding a bike or crossing the street.
