Reporting Hazards and Accidents

Road and path conditions vary over time. If you see a problem or hazard for bicycles, please report it to the Council who will investigate and
wherever possible arrange to fix the problem.

If there is a problem on a main road or motorway you can report it to the Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) by phoning 131 700.

When reporting a hazard you must locate and identify it. The following may help prompt you of the information you should remember:

1. Remember the exact location of hazard

  • Road/street/cycleway name, suburb
  • On road, road shoulder/cycle lane, cycle path, footpath
  • Precise location (e.g house number, intersecting road, distance from point of reference)
  • Side of road/path (e.g. west side or travelling north)

2. Remember the type of hazard or defect

  • Damaged surface, debris on surface, roadside or pathside problems, drainage, service cover or access point.
