Here's a couple of points i remember from reading some old "Open Road" magazines late last year.....
This is all from Carl Scully's big changes to road/infrigement rules and road development plans....
# Pacific HWY: A coupla million poured into making special "wider" road shoulders along the blackspot areas (large acco zones) with single lanes for police to better target speeding drivers.
As the NRMA stated - in the areas of the Pacific HWY that have been upgrade to double lane dual carriageways, accidents have decreased by a SIGNFICANTLY HUGE magnitude. So the government puts funds into making more spots for police to set up speed traps, and NOT improving rd quality???? WTF!?!?!?
# Massive amounts of RTA funds being poured into permanent speed cameras, speed traps, double demerit weekend ads etc etc which is being taken away from improving road quality on roads like pacific HWY and great western HWY.
# Windsor Rd. Jesus lets just not start there!
Basically the idea goes that atm the govnmt sees speeding fines will solve the road toll - not improving the rds. Despite what RTA and NRMA statics prove otherwise.
