In 2016, 195 people died on WA roads, the highest number in eight years.
The importance of road safety ahead of the busy Easter and school holiday period will be highlighted at the City of Wanneroo’s annual Blessing of the Roads event on Monday, 3 April.
WA Police, Fire and Ambulance services will attend along with local school students, who will place crosses in the ground to pay respect to those who have lost their lives in road crashes.
The WA Police Chaplain will perform a blessing beside the busy Wanneroo Road / Joondalup Drive intersection, praying for the safety of road users and emergency service crews.
Human Spirit Awards will also be presented, acknowledging dedicated individuals and groups that contribute to road safety each day.
