Road assessments 

Our road safety team drives thousands of kilometres across the state each year, assessing the quality of our roads and highways. Guided by feedback from members, our experts look at everything from overtaking lanes and crumbling edges to roadside hazards and freight routes. We use this information to lobby governments to make improvements.

Road safety audits are a formal assessment of the safety of a road or location, and RAA’s qualified road safety auditors conduct periodic audits based on the concerns of members. 

RAA also submit an annual nomination for funding into the state black spot program, and periodically assess sinking service pit covers on major arterial roads.

Risky Roads

Our Risky Roads surveys call for all road users – motorists, cyclists and pedestrians – to identify roads or intersections they find confusing, difficult to negotiate, or that feel unsafe.

The results help us lobby the state government and road authorities for much-needed improvements.

Check out the results of our 2021 Risky Roads survey.

Risky Rides

Our Risky Rides surveys asks people to nominate South Australia’s riskiest on-road and off-road cycling infrastructure. We then use the results to advocate for improvements.

Check out the results of our 2022 Risky Rides survey, as well as previous reports.
