NRMA unveils Tamworth rate your road survey results
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.”
