When driving, do you obey this Qld road rule? If not, start from today … give way when turning.
Thanks goes to @QueenslandWalks & @fel_caldwell of @brisbanetimes for reporting on this.
Far too often people fail to comply with the law and give way when turning into a side street.
We need better education but more importantly better infrastructure!
It’s so valuable to contribute and learn from the evidence, that’s why we shared our story back in 2021. We hope you can share yours now too. ispah.org/every-step-counts-…

Long wait times at traffic lights discourage people from walking! Wait times are even worse in regional Australia (in my opinion), add in some heat, waiting in the full sun for the lights to go green…feels like eternity! 🥵 abc.net.au/news/2023-09-25/p…

💡Investing in health promotion is a smart strategy.
Australia spends less than 2% of all health spending on prevention. We call on all Australian governments to commit at least 5% of the health budget to health promotion & illness prevention.
