The RACV calls on Victorians to identify most dangerous intersections

The RACV is calling on Victorians to rank Melbourne’s intersections that need urgent attention by the State Government.

Head of Policy James Williams says My Melbourne Road helps RACV to advocate for change where it’s needed most.

“Whether you’re behind the wheel, riding, walking or using public transport, your experience on the road matters to the RACV,” Williams says.

“We know from experience that direct feedback from Victorians makes a difference, and helps governments make decisions about where to invest to improve our roads.”

Since the last My Melbourne Road in 2023, the RACV has tracked upgrades or planned improvements to 11 intersections and roads that respondents had previously highlighted as priorities.

This year, the RACV has worked with the National Transport Research Organisation (NTRO) to analyse 365 of Melbourne’s intersections. 

Based on crash history, traffic volumes and intersections design, the RACV and the NTRO have identified the 84 most dangerous intersections in Melbourne. Grouped into seven urban areas, these 84 intersections saw 771 crashes over the past five years – a clear signal that more needs to be done. 

The RACV is now inviting Victorians to rank these intersections and tell us where the government should prioritise road safety improvements.

With the results, the RACV will work with the NTRO to propose a high-level solution for the most dangerous intersection in each urban area of Melbourne: Inner, West, North West, North East, East, Inner South East and Outer South East.

My Melbourne Road takes only three minutes to complete and covers every council in Melbourne. In each urban area, participants can choose up to four intersections as well as nominate other intersections not listed.

Williams says it’s not just about high-profile intersections – smaller suburban roads that may be poorly maintained, overly complex, or frequently congested also deserve attention.

“The RACV’s My Melbourne Road empowers every road user to highlight areas they believe are unsafe, even if they’re not widely known,” Williams says.

“Whether it’s a confusing roundabout, a blocked pedestrian crossing, or an intersection lacking turning lanes, the community’s feedback helps the RACV identify and prioritise problems that data alone may not fully capture.

“Ultimately, the RACV’s goal is to support a transport network that works for everyone, and the feedback helps strengthens the RACV’s effectiveness advocating for meaningful improvements where they’re needed most.”
