Regional roads in the spotlight

Glenelg Shire Council is calling on residents to make their feelings on the state of the region’s roads known through a campaign being run by the RACV.

The motoring organisation last week launched the ‘My Country Road’ campaign, a road safety initiative asking Victorians to provide feedback about how safe they feel on roads in regional Victoria.

The survey uses an online interactive map that shows high-speed roads with large concentrations of crashes causing death or serious injury in regional Victoria.

My Country Road is also an opportunity for motorists in Glenelg Shire Council to let RACV know what they think of electric vehicles, and barriers to uptake.

The RACV will share the results with all levels of government, so they can work together to improve safety outcomes for Victorians.

Glenelg Shire Mayor Karen Stephens welcomed the initiative.

“As Mayor, the state of our roads – whether they be State Government or Council managed – is one of the biggest issues I hear about from residents,” she said.

“Anything the RACV can do to get everyone working together for a better outcome is to be applauded and I encourage residents to fill out the survey.

“The RACV previously conducted a similar campaign in 2021 and it is the sort of feedback governments take seriously.”
