====Creation of NRMA and continued RACA involvement==== [[File:NRMABadge.jpg|thumb|upright|NRMA hood ornament on a 1930s [[Rolls-Royce Phantom]]]] Former prime minister [[Chris Watson]] became NRA president in 1920 and served until his death in 1941. The National Roads Association was restructured as the National Roads and Motorists' Association at the beginning of 1924. With a goal strikingly similar to that of RACA, it positioned the NRMA as a competitor as much as a collaborator, particularly when it began to employ its own road service "guides". These returned servicemen "of exemplary character" patrolled specific areas, including the popular beaches of [[Coogee, New South Wales|Coogee]], [[Bondi Beach]] and [[Bronte, New South Wales|Bronte]], or were based at congested spots on the roads out of the city where they could receive messages by phone or relayed by other motorists.<ref name=Brooham/> The NRMA attended a 1925 meeting convened by RACA on traffic regulations. Together with other motoring lobby groups, they resolved to draft suggested reforms. Particular concerns included the need for a special traffic court, and a change to the "plethora of danger signs" that had appeared in the streets, accompanied by "frequently incomprehensible signals of police" at intersections. As an alternative to the red triangle placed by police at danger spots.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}
