Sydney's most hated roads revealed
FIRST ON 7: A survey conducted for 7News has found major motorways are a major annoyance, but it's worse at spots without them.
Pennant Hills Road is often a long hard slog, while north shore drivers get stranded on Military Road, and inner-city commuters are advised to avoid King Street in Newtown.
"Speeds on some of Sydney's major roads [are] comparable to what people expect to go through school zones in," Shadow Roads Minister Ryan Park said.
It's also the problem with Sydney's most unpopular, Parramatta Road, where the average peak speed can be as low as 19 kilometres an hour.
The 7News/McKell Institute survey says Parramatta Road is the worst, followed by King Street, Miltary Road, Pennant Hills and Cleveland Street.
"It's not just residents in Sydney's west, we actually saw that residents in the city and eastern suburbs were extremely frustrated with Parramatta Road," McKell Institute spokesman Peter Bentley said.
Rounding out the top ten was the Pacific Highway, the M5, M2, Princes Highway and M4.
Sydney is world-renowned for its traffic jams, and the NRMA's Peter Khoury said a big factor for that is because there hasn't been enough spending on the local road network.
The Roads Minister admits he also loathes Parramatta Road, but says the State Government does have a plan to fix it.
The problem is that the WestConnex Motorway will take a decade to build, and will cost more than $10 billion.
