    THE COST of CRASHES an Analysis of Lives Lost and Injuries on NSW Roads

    THE COST OF CRASHES An analysis of lives lost and injuries on NSW roads May 2017 About the NRMA Better road and transport infrastructure has been a core focus of the NRMA since 1920 when our founders lobbied for improvements to the condition of Parramatta Road in Sydney. Independent advocacy was the foundation activity of the organisation and remains critical to who we are as we approach our first centenary. From humble beginnings, the NRMA has grown to represent over 2.4 million Australians principally from NSW and the ACT. The NRMA also provides motoring, mobility and tourism services to our Members and the community. Today, the NRMA works with policy makers and industry leaders to advocate for increased investment in road infrastructure and transport solutions to make mobility safer, provide access for all and to deliver sustainable communities. By working together with all levels of government to deliver integrated transport options we can give motorists a real choice about how they get around. The NRMA believes that integrated transport networks, including efficient roads, high-quality public transport and improved facilities for cyclists and pedestrians, are essential to solve the challenge of growing congestion and provide for the future growth of our communities.

    RACQ Regional Road Inspection Tour 2009

    Regional Road Inspection Tour December 2009 <<Insert image here>> Document description South Western Queensland and North / North Western and Central Queensland RACQ Regional Road Inspection Tour 2009 Introduction In August/September 2009 the RACQ Traffic & Safety Department undertook a road inspection tour of major Queensland highways in the North, Central and Southern Queensland. The tour included meetings with representatives at Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) offices in the regions to gain a better understanding of issues and current condition of the National and State road network in these areas. It also provided the opportunity to better comprehend the difficulties of building and maintaining roads in harsh weather and inferior soil conditions. General measurements were taken of traffic lanes, shoulders and clear zones. Visual assessments of the roads such as pavement condition, delineation, ride comfort and presence of roadside hazards were recorded together with observational surveys of traffic mix. These were logged and are discussed in greater detail within the main report. The data collected, with the knowledge and understanding of relevant local issues gained, together with the fact that RACQ experts were „on-site‟, generated a great deal of media interest and community feedback throughout both tours. The two week-long trips are shown below: South-western Queensland (1750km) North, North Western and Central (August 31 – September 4) Queensland (2250km) (September 14-18) • Warrego Highway • Flinders Highway • Moonie Highway • Barkly Highway • Balonne Highway • Landsborough Highway • Mitchell Highway • Capricorn Highway 2 RACQ Regional Road Inspection Tour 2009 pavement including trees and exposed South Western culverts.
