Ratings system to help drivers navigate road safety
Australian drivers will be able to check their safety points for large ways before using a long -awaited transportation vehicle.
All highways, highways and highways, except three states, were listed from five stars in the online vehicle from the single -star marble bar road in Western Australia to the Westlink M7 in Sydney.
Austroyads released the online control panel on Monday after three years of information that the transportation group said it could help inform the future road upgrades.
The launch also comes in the midst of the debate about the promotion of user charges to finance the future transport infrastructure, and the figures have shown that Australia’s road fee climbed in 2025.
The online road security vehicle, called the National Ausrap indicator panel, lists the major ways of the five stars by using assessments from the states and regions, along with traffic accident data.
Roads, width and curvature, roadside hazards, safety features, traffic flow and physical characteristics, including measures such as gaining points according to measures.
Austroads Road Security Manager Michael Nieuwesteeg has increased in the last five years to collect and evaluate security information, but it was an expensive operation for state governments.
“Every state collects data and uses it to inform the investment decisions – not just the way we’ve collected,” he said.
“There is a really important opportunity for the government to share it with the public.”
The Ausrap control panel shows details about the roads in NSW, Victoria, Western Australia and North Region, including traffic forecasts and road deaths and serious injuries.
Data from Southern Australia is expected to be added soon and then information from Queensland and Tasmania.
The National Road Security Strategy, published by Transportation Ministers in 2021, aims to realize 80 percent of three stars or more rated trips by 2030.
By publishing the data publicly, Geoff Allan, Chairman of the Austrian Executive Officer, said that governments and drivers could determine that progress and upgrades are needed.
“If you can’t measure, you can’t manage,” AAP said.
“This is a great starting point and all governments should be congratulated for making this journey and making the data available.”
Allan, low -volume usage or geographical limitations will be difficult to improve some roads, and in the future indicator panel pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists, such as traffic accidents will be added more details, he said.
Australia’s national road fees took place with 1340 deaths as of July 31 – increased by 2.9 percent, and more pedestrians were killed in accidents.
The Australian pedestrian council called on the publication of more government information about the reason for the rise.
