Seven people, including a toddler, have died on NSW roads in two days with police stating speed was a factor in 50 per cent of the crashes.

There were six deadly crashes on the weekend across the state and all but one occurred on regional roads.

A three-year-old girl was killed when the car she was in rolled south of Dubbo on Saturday. Two women in the car, aged 28 and 32, were hospitalised.

Meanwhile, two people died near Temora on Sunday after their car left the road, hit a tree and burst into flames.

Four others were killed in crashes in Port Stephens, Wirrimah, Lucas Heights and Clifden.

NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy said speed played a part in three of the six crashes.

"If you are travelling this summer I implore you to think about the lives around you and the impact your death or injury would have on them," he said in a statement on Monday.
