Road safety survey extended
WANNON MP Dan Tehan has called on the community to have their say after the deadline for the National Road Survey was extended.
The National Road Survey, which was created to encourage road users to have their say on some of Australia’s worst roads, has been extended to the end of September due to an active and growing participation by people across the country.
Launched in June, the survey has garnered thousands of responses from across the country as concerned road users nominate locations across the 880,000 km road network that pose serious safety and productivity issues.
“The survey extension will ensure more road users across Wannon are able to shine a light on the appalling condition of our road network,” Mr Tehan said.
“We all depend on Australia’s 880,000 kms of road networks. They underpin almost every aspect of our lives, whether it’s getting to and from work, school or sport, or getting produce off the farm and to market.
“Motorists are responsible for ensuring vehicles are registered, insured and roadworthy.
“In turn it’s only right that the taxes and charges paid should be re-invested in our land transport network to ensure our roads are car worthy and up to standard.
“Let’s send a message to fix our roads.”
