King Return Expands Queensland Motoring Plans
Mr Len King, General Secretary of RACQ, returns to Brisbane after a world tour studying motoring administration and transport development. He reports a global rise in vehicle numbers, parking shortages, and the need for off street parking, underground or surface schemes, to ease urban traffic. He notes European roads and autostradas as models and suggests Queensland motorists may benefit from these insights. The RACQ cautions against tyre wear and excessive speed while urging safer driving and vehicle maintenance.
