Share the load this Easter, police urge

Victorians are being urged to share the roads this Easter weekend.

The increased number of cars on the roads over the long weekend means the risks are higher, Assistant Commissioner Robert Hill says, while urging people to share the driving and to take it easy.

"There is no rush, the most important thing is that you get to your destination safely," he said.

Easter is historically a time of high risk on Victoria's roads with 20 people killed and more than 1300 injured between 2010 and 2014.

Police will be out in force across the state until Monday 6 as part of Operation Crossroads.
