March 16, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Queensland Senator Susan McDonald, has joined a push by the Australian Automobile Association for urgent federal action to identify the causes of bad crashes in rural and regional areas.<\/p>\n

Senator McDonald said AAA analysis in Queensland showed regional drivers were dying at three times the rate of metropolitan drivers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nationwide, regional drivers were dying about five times the rate of city drivers.<\/p>\n

Senator McDonald called for State-based crash-cause data – including if road conditions were a factor – to be collated and shared nationally so federal road funding could be better targeted at regional Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cRoad fatalities and injuries in regional Australia are over-represented, and when you look at the state of regional roads, there is strong evidence road conditions are a contributing factor to this death rate disparity,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Federal Infrastructure Minister should implement a uniform national crash data system, including road conditions as a causative factor.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
