Answer 3

strengthen community action = involves a range of organisations like state emergency services volunteers that prepare coffee for tired drivers to help them energise and be alert when driving leading to reduced road collisions. this builds link between drivers and volunteers as they are working together to reduce road collisions

create supportive environments = by providing rest sites for drivers, it allows them to take power naps instead of falling asleep while driving that could lead to road accidents. this helps create a safe physical environment on the road that is free from road collisions and allows drivers to access these rest sites when needed.
