Last year, around 2,700 pedestrians and cyclists were injured in a collision on Victorian roads.

This week we relaunched Operation Halo – one of Victoria Police's longest road policing operations - which focusses on addressing the behaviour that leads to trauma among our most vulnerable road users.

Police will be engaging with pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and e-scooter riders to ensure they are doing the right thing too, so that everyone is sharing the roads safely.

Operation Halo will initially focus on four council areas - Melbourne, Yarra, Port Phillip and Merri-Bek – where there are a lot of people out walking and riding.

Victoria Walks, Bicycle Network Victoria and the Amy Gillett Foundation are also supporting the initiative, which will run until the end of September.

The below are some simple steps you can take to stay safe as a pedestrian regardless of night or day 👇🏻
🚶Use traffic lights, pedestrian crossings and overpasses.
🚶Make eye contact with other road users to make sure they’ve seen you.
🚶Watch for oncoming traffic.
🚶Look up from your phone when walking.

Need some more tips and making sure you’re arriving to your destination safely, check them out in our bio!
