April will see local police forces hone in on road safety in high-risk areas along with a new operation launched later in the month to commence a state-wide blitz from 17 April for ten days.
Police will be prioritising road safety with several localised operations to be conducted in high-risk areas, culminating in a major statewide road policing blitz over the Easter and ANZAC Day period.
Operation Compass will see the police highly visible and enforced across the state’s roads, commencing on 17 April 2025 and running for an extended 10-day period.
Road Policing Assistant Commissioner, Glenn Weir said whether you’re a driver, passenger or pedestrian, road safety is everyone’s responsibility and it’s up to all of us to play our part in making the roads safer.
“Police will have a major focus on road safety this month – motorists can expect to see us highly visible and enforcing across the state’s roads, particularly over the upcoming Easter and ANZAC Day period.”
75 lives have been lost on Victorian roads in 2025, equal to 75 at the same time last year, with more than half of this year’s fatal collisions occurring on regional roads.
