Brimbank residents are being asked to nominate Victoria’s worst roads as part of a campaign launched by the state opposition.
Opposition leader Matthew Guy and roads spokeswoman Steph Ryan launched the campaign, which aims to identity the state’s most hazardous roads, on April 19.
It will run for three months and the opposition is seeking input from motorists, who are encouraged to submit road condition reports as they travel the state via an online portal in an effort to build a list of the roads most in need of maintenance.
Ms Ryan said Victorian drivers had an important role to play to help fix the state’s roads.
“We’ll be seeking reports direct from local communities, councils, farmers and community groups as we search for Victoria’s worst roads,” she said.
“Fixing the maintenance backlog won’t be an easy task – as the Victorian Auditor-General says, poorly-maintained roads cost more to repair, cost motorists more in fuel and in vehicle repairs, on top of the safety risk.
“Properly maintained roads are safer roads.”
