SuperGP to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Sir Jack's (right) first world title.
Boylan
Traffic Solutions has signed a five-year sponsorship deal with the Australian
Motor Sport Foundation's Rising Star Program.

Boylan
Traffic Solutions' Sydney-based operation has moved - expanding from its old site at Box Hill into a
more spacious complex at 46 Huntingwood Dr, Huntingwood.
BTS managing
director Peter Boylan said the Huntingwood site's expansive floorplan and
convenient location made it an ideal choice for the growing operation.
``And, being
only 3km from Blacktown, 2km from the M4 and Great Western Highway, and 2km
from the start of the M7/M2 link will, I'm sure, be appreciated by our
customers,'' Mr Boylan said.
Our Sydney
phone number (9428 8000) remains the same.

VMS boards with coloured graphics are now available from BTS
Colour your
world for added impact
VMS boards
with striking multi-coloured displays are now available for hire and sale
through Boylan Traffic Solutions.
The
world-first technology was developed in response to studies that showed that
motorists are more responsive to an electronic display that uses colour.
The
solar-powered coloured displays are still capable of generating
industry-standard amber messages and graphics.

Coronial inquiry into 'shocking' holiday road toll
 Australia's recent holiday road toll was the highest in four years
Police are shocked by the 70 road deaths over the recent
Christmas and New Year period - the highest national holiday road toll in four
years.
Channel Nine's news website
reported that NSW led the states with 23 deaths between December 18 and January
3. Victoria followed with 17 deaths.
The national figure was the highest
in four years and compared to 56 in 2008-09, 46 in 2007-08 and 62 in 2006-07.
NSW police blamed risk-taking
drivers for the high toll, with the state's top traffic officer, Assistant
Commissioner John Hartley, describing it as shocking.
In Victoria, police were
disappointed by the high holiday toll after conducting a major campaign to
reduce the number of road deaths.
Deputy Commissioner Ken Lay has
written to the state coroner asking her to investigate the state's holiday road
toll.
Ironically, the shocking statistics
didn't stop Victoria recording its lowest annual road toll - 295 in 2009 - since records began in 1952.
Queensland recorded 12 deaths
during the holiday period, while 10 people died on Western Australian roads.
Police across the country admit
they don't know why the toll is high but say they remain committed to lowering
it through efforts such as public education and a visible police presence.
