Display Trailers
WALGA's RoadWise received funding through the Road Trauma Trust Account (RTTA) to build a number of road safety display trailers which aim to assist members of the community road safety network to promote road safety at community events across the state. Fostering community support is vital for the effective implementation of Driving Change, Road Safety Strategy for Western Australia 2020-2030 and the safe system approach to road safety. The road safety display trailers assist with generating this community support.
In regional areas, numerous community events are held each year. These events generally attract local residents and visitors, offering opportunities for increased exposure to key road safety messages and campaigns at the community level. The trailers complement similar trailers already in operation in some regions and provide a transportable and durable road safety resource, suitable for outdoor (and certain indoor) display purposes.
Road safety displays can be made easier with the display trailers, reducing much of the organisation and logistics required when planning a display. All resources and merchandise are contained within the trailer, which is easily transported and quick to assemble. Local Governments, Road Safety Council member agencies, other road safety partners/organisations and community groups have access to the road safety display trailers.

Trailer Specifications
The road safety display trailers are designed to be towed by an average medium sized vehicle - a large vehicle or 4WD is not required.
The dimensions of the trailers are:
- length: 3.4 metres
- height: 2.4 metres
- width: 1.6 metres
The trailer weighs no more than 1.5 tonnes fully loaded.
Built-in television, laptop, competition box, and brochure/poster displays make promoting key road safety messages easy.
The trailers open up on three sides, providing enhanced access and protection from the elements. Lighting is also provided so the trailer can be used at night.
An external power source or generator is required to power the lights, television and laptop.
Booking Process
Road safety display trailers can be booked through your Regional Road Safety Advisor and are made available free of charge.
Completion of a booking form is required prior to hire and an event report must be completed on return of the trailer, this is to assist with compilation of usage statistics.
The booking form can be found at the back of the WALGA's RoadWise Program Resource Catalogue, downloadable from the Resources section of this website. Once booked, your Regional Road Safety Advisor will provide a copy of all other relevant forms and processes.
Each trailer is generously housed by a Local Government and the hirer is required to collect and return the trailer to the host Local Government.
