What are the dangers of Queensland Roads?

There has been an increase in fatalities on Queensland roads since the beginning of the pandemic. The state is about to reach its highest road-related death toll in ten years. More than 170 people have died on Queensland roads this year alone. This is already 14 more than compared to July of last year. Lack of awareness is one of the main concerns regarding this recent rise in figures. It was reported many do not feel concerned by the dangers on the road. This issue stems from the idea that bad things only happen to others which is untrue.

How to take appropriate precautions?

Awareness is key towards safety in the context of road dangers. Police believes the rise in accidents may be due to pandemic spending, encouraging people to go out of their way to travel more. This rush in action makes drivers less aware of their surroundings. This unfortunately causes many collusions as well as for some drivers to exit the roads. Queensland has organised Queensland Road Safety Week, happening this week between the 22nd and the 26th of August. This initiative allows to provide reminders towards road safety and start a conversation on how we can all be more careful.

Why PANDA?

The Panda System is a comprehensive pedestrian and driver alert system. The solution focuses on bringing better awareness for all by utilising Road-side and In-road beacons. The panda components are able to fit on top of existing signs. This allows to make them go from passive to active. Doing so creates easier to notice safety signs in order to raise awareness at all times. The In-road lights serve a similar purpose and assist the signs by reminding drivers something needing their attention is near.

What are the dangers of Mountain Driving?

Mountain driving can be a dangerous task no matter a driver’s competence. A variety of factors must be considered at all times which is not always easy to manage. Awareness is a key aspect of safe driving on uncertain roads. This means remaining conscious of the road, other drivers, weather changes as well as potential animals. One of the biggest risks is being stuck on a mountain. Temperatures will most likely be non-accommodating and it may become difficult to reach for help. Accidents can happen very fast and cause harm to passengers and vehicles.

How to take appropriate precautions?

Remaining aware is essential in order to ensure everyone’s safety. There are already elements in place to assist drivers with this. Speed limits and other warning signs are present alongside roads to remind drivers of adequate safety measures. Reminders are especially important for those who may not be familiar with the roads or for seasonal risks like animals or natural changes. Driving slowly is essential to avoid unnecessary hazards and be able to see as much as possible everywhere. Regardless, this can be difficult to achieve in times of urgency or during the night.

Why PANDA?

The Pedestrian and Driver Alert (PANDA) is a wireless safety solution that ensures full coverage of a driving zone in seconds. The system includes flashing in order to transform passive signs into active ones. In-Road lights are also available to map out certain roads and indicate approaching concerns. A typical installation involves a sign 6 to 20 metres before a hazard and assisting In-Road lights 4 to 10 metres away to raise further awareness. The PANDA System has various activation methods to adapt to a variety of needs and locations. Both manual and automatic options are available to accommodate to any situation.
