RACV Head of Policy James Williams says its far from just a local issue.

“Over 7,000 Victorians have provided us with data about safety on our regional roads, with potholes or poor road condition being the number one safety issue,” he said.

“As a safety advocate, it’s important that RACV closely examines what Victorians think are the factors contributing to unsafe road conditions, so we can provide that information to all levels of government and encourage action.

“The number of responses received is a strong indicator that Victorians are concerned about safety on regional roads and are calling for urgent improvement.

“Sixty per cent of survey participants think that improving road surfaces should be the priority road safety solution.”
