Road assessments

As part of RAA’s Regional Road Assessment program, 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 regional 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.
