The Pacific Highway has been voted the worst road in NSW for the second year in a row.
About seven per cent of the 15,500 motorists who took part in the NRMA annual road survey flagged the Pacific Highway at Urunga, on the state’s mid-north coast, as the worst road in NSW.
Motorists said the 960km road that links Sydney to Brisbane is congested and has disappearing lanes and a poor road surface.
Other roads among the worst five in the state are the Princes Highway at Albion Park, Kings Highway at Braidwood, Parramatta Road at Concord and Pennant Hills Road at Pennant Hills.
Among Sydney motorists, Parramatta Road took the number one spot for the worst road followed closely by Pennant Hills Road, M5 East, M4 and the Pacific Highway at Wahroonga.
NRMA president Wendy Machin said NSW needed to deliver Sydney’s missing motorways.
“I don’t think anyone would be surprised that the Pacific Highway has again been voted the state’s worst road,” Ms Machin said in a statement on Monday.
“Problems on Parramatta Road will only improve once we build the M4 Extension, while congestion on Pennant Hills Road will improve once the F3 to Sydney Orbital is built.
“The public won’t stomach further delays with finishing the upgrade of the Pacific Highway and the NRMA again urges the Australian and NSW governments to work together to meet the 2016 deadline.”
The Seeing Red on Roads survey also found more than half of respondents listed congestion as the most frustrating issue across the state, followed by poor road surface.
