The Pedestrian Council recently launched a new pedestrian road safety awareness campaign. The concept was developed around the behaviour of many pedestrians who often behave like sheep when crossing the road, particularly at traffic lights. Many are either listening to iPods & MP3 players or using mobile phones. When one sheep walks the rest follow without stopping, looking and listening. The ad seeks to highlight the dangers of this potentially lethal behaviour and hopefully create significant behavioral change. Click here to view in high definition.

Walking is the first thing an infant wants to do and the last thing an old person wants to give up. Walking is the exercise that does not need a gym. It is the prescription without medicine, the weight control without diet, and the cosmetic that can’t be found in a chemist. It is the tranquilliser without a pill, the therapy without a psychoanalyst, and the holiday that does not cost a penny. What’s more, it does not pollute, consumes few natural resources and is highly efficient. Walking is convenient, it needs no special equipment, is self-regulating and inherently safe. Walking is as natural as breathing. |

The Australian Pedestrian Charter This Charter recognises that some people are unable to walk because of a disability that requires the use of a wheelchair or similar device. In this document, that distinction is set aside. All references to walking and pedestrian activity are deemed to embrace those dependent upon such mobility aids.
