NRMA Calls For Road Performance Reviews, Toll Overhaul

The NRMA has commissioned a report which calls for a new approach to measuring the successes and failures of Sydney’s congested road network, along with an overhaul of the tolling system.

Called ‘Improving The Performance Of Sydney’s Road Network’, the report calls upon the New South Wales Government to adopt a performance review-type system to monitor exactly how well Sydney’s roads are coping.

Under the scheme, the Roads and Maritime Service (RMS) would “measure, monitor and report” on the performance of Sydney’s roads under key indicators that could appear in a weekly report and a wider annual report.

The NRMA's report also calls for an independent body to determine toll levels for Sydney’s motorways, increasing or decreasing fees within a ‘cap’.

While not stated in the report, the NRMA has also called for rebates to be issued to motorists using poor-performing roads and toll increases to be linked to the consumer price index (CPI).
