NRMA unveils Tamworth rate your road survey results

Wednesday 15 March 2023: The NRMA is today bringing its Rate Your Roads campaign to Tamworth to highlight survey results for the local community and thank those who took part.

A record 28,292 votes have been cast across NSW in NRMA’s Rate Your Roads survey with almost 700 votes cast for roads in Tamworth. Voting commenced in December last year and the results are being rolled out across the state in the lead-up to the NSW election later this month. Local roads identified were:

	Street Name	Suburb	Reason	AVG Scores	TOTAL Votes
1	Peel Street	Tamworth	Safety	46	71
2	Calala Lane	Calala	Congestion and Condition	46	42
3	Nowendoc Road	Ogunbil	Safety	32	36
4	Upper Moore Creek Road	Moore Creek	Congestion	33	20
5	Forrest Road	Moore Creek	Congestion	44	19

In the Tamworth local area, the New England Highway received votes for better performance particularly for recent improvements in congestion.

NRMA spokesperson Peter Khoury, thanked the community for helping to again break the record on the number of votes for its Rate Your Road survey and highlighted that the invaluable data would help the organisation fight for better community outcomes over the next four years.

“The NRMA today thanks the community of Tamworth who had their say on what is a critical issue facing our nation and joined a grass roots campaign to make our roads safer and more efficient,” Mr Khoury said.

“A number of local roads were identified in this survey and the NRMA is committed to ensuring this data helps drive sensible funding and policy outcomes across all levels of Government - receiving crucial feedback on roads in regional NSW is particularly helpful.

“This community-led advocacy works – some of the state’s worst roads no longer make the list because Governments have responded by investing in solutions. This has helped make our roads safer for everyone.”
