Where Are Our Worst Roads?
Across the state, unroadworthy roads are putting Queenslander’s lives at risk but now drivers have the chance to nominate the roads in their communities that are in desperate need of an upgrade.
RACQ has launched its biennial Unroadworthy Roads Survey and is asking motorists to join its advocacy efforts and nominate problem stretches of roads that need attention.
RACQ Head of Public Policy Dr Michael Kane said the results would be analysed and provided to road authorities and politicians to help prioritise upgrades.
“Every driver is familiar with frustrating roads they come across on their daily commute or weekend road trip and we need their local knowledge and eyes on the ground to help us with this survey,” Dr Kane said.
“It could be a road that’s full of potholes, has narrow lanes, lacks overtaking lanes, has missing or faded line markings, or floods easily.
“By pinpointing these issues, you can help bring problem roads to the attention of political parties and candidates contesting the upcoming Queensland and Federal elections.”
The survey, which only takes a few minutes, will be open until 3 July and can be completed at racq.com.au/badroads
