The scene of the triple fatality on the Kings Highway on Friday.
The New South Wales Roads Minister Duncan Gay says he cannot guarantee that the Kings Highway will receive priority funding for upgrades.
Five people have died in two separate accidents on the same stretch of the road outside Braidwood since Friday.
Two men died and another was hurt when their car crashed into a tree on Sunday, days after a 52-year-old man and his two daughters were killed in a head-on collision in the same area.
The NRMA says the road, which connects Canberra to the New South Wales south coast, is in desperate need of an upgrade.
Mr Gay says the road is “pretty ordinary” and if there is a problem it will be addressed, but he cannot say when.
“With the exception of the tragedy of these five deaths in the last three days there had been no deaths in that area in the 12 months previous,” he said.
“In most instances this appears to be driver error rather than the road.”
Police are investigating if road conditions were a factor in the crashes.
Inspector Phil Brooks says witnesses have told police the car involved in Sunday’s smash was speeding while illegally overtaking.
“They’ve seen the vehicle driving before the event and certainly the area is a signposted 90 kilometre-per-hour area so we will be looking at all factors concerning speed and driver behaviour,” he said.
“Certainly these accidents are indicative of the need to remind drivers along the Kings Highway that speed, fatigue and poor driver behaviour are all factors in fatal motor vehicle accidents.”
Eden-Monaro Federal Labor MP Mike Kelly says point-to-point speed cameras should be considered for the highway.
“What we have to focus primarily on right now is modifying the behaviour of drivers as being a very, very key factor in all this,” he said.
“Keep working on the road over time…obviously that’s a matter for the New South Wales Government.”
