Wheelie bin stickers rolled out in Canowindra: Canowindra residents are being urged to help make streets safer by applying ‘Life Saving’ stickers to their garbage wheelie bins. The large stickers, which feature life-size images of children stepping towards the road and speed limit signs, are designed to provide a strong visual road safety reminder to motorists. The images are based on research which found that signs that depicted motion, resulted in faster reaction times and increased vigilance among would-be drivers, which could ultimately lead to faster stopping times. Use of the stickers in other Australian states has seen over 5,000 distributed and applied to wheelie bins throughout the country.
