Trucks are frequently interacting with vulnerable road users (VRU), and it’s essential these interactions happen safely. Everyone has a role to play in keeping each other safe on the road, and these new training videos have been created to support truck drivers’ in safely sharing the road with VRUs.

VRUs are road users who travel outside of cars, buses, or trucks, typically pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.

The goal of the videos is to help truck drivers understand how to navigate through busy streets safely, particularly where VRUs can be present. Parts of the Victorian road network are used by high numbers of pedestrian, bicycle riders and motorcyclists, and major construction projects can take place in these locations

The new training videos offer practical safety tips on how truck drivers can safely share the road with road users.
