RACV is asking motorists across the state, such as those in Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay, how roads across the state can be made safer through the My Melbourne Road survey, launched Thursday, March 2.
Responses are being sought from all road users whether they ride a bike, drive a car or walk.
The My Melbourne Road survey uses an interactive map showing roads from 31 local council areas.
Survey participants are able to provide feedback by dropping a pin and filling out information about how a section of road or intersection can be improved from a safety perspective.
The interactive map also shows participants where serious injuries and deaths have occurred on our roads between 2016 and 2019.
RACV general manager automotive services Jackie Pedersen said the My Melbourne Road survey provides an opportunity for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists to highlight road and driving conditions that have given them cause for concern and assist RACV in achieving a safer road environment for all modes of transport.
“RACV really wants to know what Melburnians think about the roads, intersections and routes that make up their daily commutes,” Ms Pedersen said.
“For example, is the speed limit too high? Are certain lanes too narrow? Is there inadequate signage that could lead to collisions? Have potholes or deteriorating road surfaces made a certain road dangerous to travel on?
“When talking about Melbourne roads, it’s not just drivers we’re hoping to hear from. We want to be a voice for everyone including pedestrians, bike riders and public transport users. This is your chance to speak up and be heard.”
Ms Pedersen said RACV will share the input from survey participants with all levels of government.
