Abstract

RACV published a special report entitled “Lifeline: Situation Critical for Victoria’s rural arterial road network”. Lifeline presents the Victorian community with a challenge to reduce death and injury on the rural arterial network and a vision to upgrade the rural arterial network to a contemporary standard. Several years ago, Victoria introduced the MABC road classification system, designed to reflect the function and quality of each road. Each classification also has associated safety benchmarks. While today’s roads bear MABC route markings, in some cases, the associated safety benchmarks have not been met. RACV estimates that if each road in the MABC network was as safe as the safest road in each class, significant safety gains could be achieved. This paper will outline RACV’s vision for the MABC network in Victoria. (Author/publisher) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E211985.
