This is one of the People & Projects series to look at what’s happening around the world and closer to home. People & Projects (P&P) are for people who are curious to hear what’s happening globally and locally. These are interviews with academics, advocates and community group leaders.

Road Rules 360 (RR360) cohosted with John Burrill, former TMR subject matter expert for Qld’s road rules. We discuss the road rules for people riding a bike, walking, in a wheelchair, on a scooter or other personal mobility device (PMD). 

Not Everyone Drives (NED) are conversations with people who don’t (or don’t like to) drive. They may have a disability, on medication, strapped for cash, too young, too old, unlicensed, they had a collision, or prefer to use their travel time not driving. This one’s for policymakers to understand the implications for their decisions.
