Inner North Traffic Delays

Well the major GDE roadworks would be a reason for the massive traffic jam, something to do with some idiots building a one lane road instead of a two lanes a few years back. Though if you had stuck with the GDE line of traffic for a few minutes, it speeds up after the traffic merges and you get onto the Parkway. You would have been home in 30 odd minutes if you stuck with your original route.

Yeah, I would have suggested Coppins Xing and the back of Weston.

In the morning even Coppins Xing is maxed out. Just hopeless!

Be glad when it’s all finished.

There’s lots of roadworks around – things are bad all over traffic-wise.

Coming in from Albury towards Tuggeranong, I would have thought Coppins Crossing is a better option.

Thoroughly Smashed said :

with Tuggeranong as your destination, you made a very interesting detour and it unsurprisingly cost you heaps of time…

Also I’ve never heard “slothed out hardcore” before but I love it already.

Ditto. I want to hear it used in traffic reports. Likewise I look forward to ‘peek hour’

Next time turn off towards Tumut, head out through Lacmalac and over the Brindabellas into Picadilly Circus and down to Uriarra, a quick fang through Coppins Crossing and up past Weston, straight into Tuggers at Kambah. Easy as.

Not so easy if you drive something with a ridiculous ground clearance though.

Pretty bad heading north as well of an afternoon. The other day at about 5pm, it took almost an hour to go from Woden to Gungahlin via the GDE when it normally takes 20 minutes. The traffic is atrocious lately.

It’s always this bad. I lived in far south Tuggeranong fifteen years ago and did regular trips to Albury, and it took me about an hour to get through Canberra to home if I arrived at peak times. Add in some extra roadworks and I can easily see how it might take up to 90 minutes to cross the city.

I thought this was going to be about the roadworks on McCaughey Street in Turner.

I have to go a couple of blocks out of my way during my daily commute. It adds at least 60 seconds to my journey!!!
