Melbourne roads in competition for Victoria’s most dangerous intersections

words by staff writer

RACV is calling on Victorians to identify Melbourne's most dangerous intersections through new community survey.

RACV wants community feedback on Melbourne roads and intersections needing urgent Victorian government attention.

The next instalment of the My Melbourne Road survey aims to help RACV advocate for change where it’s needed most.

Since the last My Melbourne Road in 2023, RACV has monitored 11 intersections and roads that respondents had previously highlighted as priorities.

The campaign covers drivers, riders, walkers and public transport users.

This year, RACV works with the National Transport Research Organisation (NTRO) to analyse 365 of Melbourne’s intersections. Based on crash history, traffic volumes and intersection design, RACV and NTRO identified the 84 most dangerous intersections in Melbourne.

These 84 intersections are grouped into seven urban areas. They saw 771 crashes over the past five years.

RACV now invites Victorians to identify these intersections. The organisation wants to know where the government should prioritise road safety improvements.

With the results, RACV will work with NTRO to propose solutions. They will focus on the most dangerous intersection in each urban area of Melbourne.

The urban areas include Inner, West, North West, North East, East, Inner South East and Outer South East.

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

RACV 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.

Whether it’s a confusing roundabout, a blocked pedestrian crossing, or an intersection lacking turning lanes, community feedback helps RACV prioritise problems. Data alone may not fully capture these issues.

Meanwhile, RACV’s goal is to support a transport network that works for everyone. The feedback strengthens RACV’s effectiveness in advocating for meaningful improvements where they’re needed most.

Previous campaign success

The organisation has already seen success from previous campaigns. Since the 2023 My Melbourne Road campaign, top roads and intersections identified have been improved by government.

These include Calder Park Drive and Calder Freeway in Brimbank. Also Princes Freeway and Clyde Road in Casey. Nepean Highway and McLeod Road in Kingston received attention too.

Additionally, Ringwood-Warrandyte Road and Croydon Road in Manningham improved. Hopkins Street and Joseph Road in Maribyrnong were upgraded. Maroondah Highway and Yarra Road in Maroondah also saw improvements.

Additional work was completed on Melton Highway and The Regency in Melton. Wellington Road and the Princes Highway in Monash received attention. Mount Alexander Road and Keilor Road in Moonee Valley were improved.

The list also includes Monash Freeway and Toorak Road in Stonnington. Princes Freeway and Geelong Road Exit in Wyndham were upgraded.

My Melbourne Road takes place every two years.

Next year, RACV will conduct the My Country Road campaign. This will address road investment issues in regional Victoria.
