Sydney motorists battle holiday and Easter gridlock

There are extensive travel delays for motorists across Sydney as people leave the city for the long weekend and school holidays.Commuters are in heavy traffic outside Sydney in the Blue Mountains, South Coast and Central CoastCommuters in the Blue Mountains have been warned to add an extra hour to travel time

Bronwyn Martin, from the Transport Management Centre, said people should plan ahead and allow for plenty of extra travel time to popular holiday spots like the Central Coast and Blue Mountains. "There's heavy northbound traffic on the Pacific Highway from Pymble to Wahroonga and that traffic heads onto the M1 Pacific Motorway to head north so it's quite busy all the way through to the Central Coast," she said.The closure of parts of Bells Line of Road due to the recent floods are also causing major delays along the Great Western Highway through the Blue Mountains.

"It's slow from around Glenbrook all the way up to Blackheath and we also have some very heavy traffic on the Hume Highway and the Hume Motorway, too."Southbound traffic from Wollongong to Mangeton, Berry to Nowra, Milton and Batemans Bay is also heavy.

I wonder why so many thinking folk are deserting Sydney and going bush.

And the plan is to shove a few more million in to Sydney. Good grief.

It’s a good thing the traffic was reduced by all those 1/2 price airfares!!

Yea you would think the climate sensitive affluent middle class would use the pandemic as a chance to become more accountable for their individual climate footprint.... Pigs might flt

Think you got your compass mixed up. No possible way you can be Northbound on the Hume leaving from Sydney. Southbound approaching Yass Valley would make more sense.
