List your worst main roads. The more main the road is, the better it should be. So potholes on a backroad between farms is not so bad, as tractors do ok on them.
Think about major freeways, 110kmh major hwy's, between capital cities and rural centres etc. |

I reckon King St Newtown could be worse than Parramata rd, but not by much. How come the first reply listed all my local roads and left me with nothing 65ehpv lol.
That road past the black stump from Coolah to Tambar Springs could be the most dangerous road in NSW I reckon.

Barkly highway between Camooweal and Mt Isa, built by the yanks at 10km per day during the evacuation of Darwin during WWII. Was the same when I traveled it 15 years ago.
Might be beter now.
Burke development road, 400km between Cloncurry and Normanton, single lane. You have to get off the bitumen when someone comes the other way.

Cormorant Road in Newcastle. HUGE traffic volume, main link between Port Stephens (Nelson Bay, Medowie etc), Stockton (northern suburb of Newcastle) and Newcastle/Lake Macquarie. Plus the main link between Newcatle region Airport and where everyone lives. AND between where everyone lives and Kooragang Island where huge amounts of people work. Morning peak hour starts at 6am and finishes around 8am. Afternoon starts at 4pm and finishes around 6pm. No traffic lights. No nothing. 80kM/h zone And it runs at a standstill. I have to be through there by 5:45am or it takes 15 minutes longer to get to work. Leave 1 minute past 4:30pm and same in the other direction. What a joke. IDIOT NSW Labor government had the option of building a new 4 lane bridge onto Kooragang Island 18 months ago for a pittance extra, yet just built another 2 lane bridge. |

The Midland Highway was pretty scary. 200km of single lane traffic with no divider at 110kph, huge number of trucks as the rail system is almost non existant so the surface was constantly breaking up. Travelled up that one more times than I care to remember. Makes the Hume Fwy seem safe by comparison.

Road into Summer Bay (home n away crap on sensationist 7)
Death trap every Friday night.
But seriously. Most of them. We have crap roads in this great country, and even worse in Qld. OT, but on a recent trip to the USA,
saw less coppers in 3000 MILES of interstate travel than I did on a return trip Brisbane - Nambour of what 200 odd K's. |
Attn camry drivers. The accelerator is the skinny pedal on the right. |

Surely the award has to go to the world famous Gillies Highway in northern Queensland. It has the most turns per travelled kilometre of any road system anywhere. There are many reports of back seat passengers including ministers hurling after just a few kilometres of travel on this road regardless of vehicle type. It has been likened to the old mouse trap ride but on steroids. They build them real bad in Queensland you know.
