Less Emissions Mission

Risky Roads campaign

RAC’s Risky Roads survey asks road users to nominate roads or intersections they believe pose a safety threat, from local streets to major highways. Nominations are received from all corners of the state and members from regional areas, where roads are often particularly dangerous, are encouraged to contribute. Those with the most nominations are shared with government agencies and used by RAC to advocate for more action on road safety.
