The New South Wales Government has announced an additional $7 million of funding for safety projects in the state under its new Safer Roads program.

The extra money will go towards highway and motorcycle route safety reviews and improving pedestrian safety in the next two financial years.

Some of the funds will come from the State Government's Community Road Safety Fund, which spends revenue raised by speed cameras on road projects.

NSW Roads Minister Duncan Gay says the state's roads desperately need improving after years of poor government and flooding.

"The asset we took over was in a terrible state and the catch-up has been horrendous - two record $5 billion budgets and on top of that two very wet years that have made it even harder to do it," Mr Gay said.

The Government says the funding will include:

An extra $2 million a year for highway safety reviews, including work on the Kings Highway;

An extra $2 million a year for highway safety reviews, including work on the Kings Highway; Three million dollars a year towards a motorcycle route safety improvement program including improved signage and line marking along roads including the Old Pacific Highway, Putty Road, and the Oxley Highway;

Three million dollars a year towards a motorcycle route safety improvement program including improved signage and line marking along roads including the Old Pacific Highway, Putty Road, and the Oxley Highway; And $2 million a year towards boosting pedestrian safety.

The new funding is part of a raft of measures intended cut the number of road deaths in the state by 30 per cent by 2021.

"It is important that we put money into improving signage for motorcyclists and coming up with new ideas for safety for them - it's an area that needs to be looked after," Mr Gay said.

"One of the key areas of increase in our fatalities is in pedestrians, and it's important to have this extra money in their sector as well."

Easter road offences down

Meanwhile, the message to motorists appears to be getting through, with NSW Police announcing that the number of Easter holiday traffic offences has declined so far this year.

The official holiday period ends at midnight tonight (AEDT), as people return home from the Easter long weekend.

Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander Inspector Phil Brooks says figures collected so far show the number of offences is lower than last year.

"We've issued nearly 3,500 speeding infringements, which is about 245 down on the same time last year, so people may be getting the message there," Inspector Brooks said.

Inspector Brooks said police had issued a further 5,600 infringement notices for other offences.
