The call follows an Easter holiday period in which one man died, another was seriously injured, and 151 traffic infringement notices were issued.

ACT Policing Traffic Operations acting Superintendent Daryl Neit described the behaviour of some drivers during the long weekend as disappointing.

Fifteen people died on Australia's roads over the Easter weekend.

NSW was hit the worst after a 19-year-old woman became the state's sixth death on Monday night when her car was washed off a flooded road near Cootamundra.

The death of Nathan Thomas on Uriarra Road overnight on Thursday was the territory's lone Easter death, and brought the annual road toll to five.

Acting Superintendent Neit said people should contact police if they witness dangerous driving.

He also said it was time for Canberrans to shoulder some of the road safety burden and back up complaints with a sworn statement.

''They can ring us anonymously and give us a tip, but how about we stand up?'' he said.

''Don't ask what ACT Policing can do about the road toll, I ask you what you can do about the road toll.''

The ACT got off to a tragic Easter start with the death of Mr Thomas.

''What really gets me is the next day, we get a driver doing 153km/h on the same stretch of road,'' Acting Superintendent Neit said.

''How stupid are you?''

He said police had issued almost 30 more traffic infringements than the previous Easter. And while the number of drink drivers fell, 23 people still returned a positive blood alcohol level.

The highest of these was 0.245, recorded by a 33-year-old man in Nicholls on Saturday night.

''I don't know about you, but I don't know if I could walk after drinking that much,'' Superintendent Neit said.

''Next minute he gets in a car and decides he wants to drive on our streets.''

A Chisholm man was seriously injured when his sedan struck two light poles on Erindale Drive early on Sunday morning.

The 35-year-old remains in a serious condition.
