Your chance to highlight region’s worst roads
RACQ is calling on you to join its advocacy efforts and help identify roads that are in urgent need of an upgrade.
RACQ Traffic and Safety Engineering Manager Gregory Miszkowycz said the survey results would be provided to authorities to lobby for safety and infrastructure improvements.
“Whether a road is full of potholes, has narrow lanes, lacks overtaking lanes, has missing or faded line markings, or is the first to go under when it rains, RACQ needs your help highlighting these dangerous roads,” Mr Miszkowycz said.
“By taking part, you can make the roads in your area safer and help save lives.”
During RACQ’s 2020 Unroadworthy Roads Survey, the poor condition and safety along Kin Kin Road in the Noosa hinterland received the most nominations.
The Bruce Highway came in as the State’s second most nominated unroadworthy road.
“Since then, significant funding has been allocated to safety upgrades on these roads and several other roads that ranked highly in past surveys have also received substantial funding in recent years,” Mr Miszkowycz said.
“There’s plenty of work that still needs to be done which is why we’re calling on Queenslanders to take part in this survey which only takes a few minutes to complete.”
Local road in the 2020 RACQ Unroadworthy Roads Survey include:
Cambooya Connection Road (between Cambooya township and the New England Highway and between Perrins Road and Cudmores Road)
Drayton Connection Road junction with Love Road
Greenmount Etonvale Road (between Greenmount Connection Road and the New England Highway)
Greenmount Hirstvale Road (between the New England Highway and Gatton Clifton Road)
New England Highway (between Toowoomba and Warwick, with special mention of stretch between Preston Boundary Road and Nelson Street)
Wellcamp Westbrook Road (from Bunkers Hill School Road to Macaulay Road)
Westbrook Wyreema Road (between Wyreema Athol Road and the Gore Highway)
Wyreema Athol (Road (between Westbrook Wyreema Road and 500 metres before Short Road)
The survey closes on 11 October and can be completed here.
