Rugby League Northland Teams Up with Road Safety Campaign

In a bid to champion road safety awareness, Rugby League Northland has announced its enthusiastic participation in the upcoming Seatbelt Road Safety Round. Scheduled from the 24th to the 26th of May, this initiative aims to draw attention to the critical importance of seatbelt usage on our roads.

In 2023, 38 people died in road crashes on Northland roads in and the 2024 toll is rising far too quickly says Northland Road Safety Trust Manager Ashley Johnston.

What sets this event apart is the innovative approach adopted by Rugby League Northland. Players from all participating teams will be sporting vibrant yellow socks throughout the Seatbelt Road Safety Round. This visual representation serves as a powerful symbol of solidarity and support for road safety initiatives, capturing the attention of spectators and players alike.

The significance of these initiatives cannot be overstated. Road accidents pose a significant threat to the well-being of individuals and communities, and every effort to mitigate this risk is invaluable. By leveraging its platform and influence, Rugby League Northland is not only fostering a culture of responsibility among its players but also leveraging its reach to positively impact the broader community.

Through the collaborative efforts of Rugby League Northland and road safety advocates, the Seatbelt Road Safety Round promises to be an impactful event. As players take to the field adorned in yellow socks, they serve as ambassadors for a cause greater than the game itself. Together, they send a resounding message: safety on our roads is non-negotiable, and every precaution must be taken to protect precious lives.
