The NRMA has named and shamed the worst roads in New South Wales as voted by more than 28,000 people.
The list, compiled by motoring body NRMA, named Parramatta Road at Auburn as the worst road in the state.
Military Road in Mosman, Hills Motorway at Carlingford, Victoria Road at West Ryde, South-Western Motorway at Moorebank and Wakehurst Parkway at Elanora Heights also made the top 10.
NRMA spokesperson Peter Khoury said the state of the road and traffic on the section of Parramatta Road were the main reasons it took out the top spot.
"It's not that it was unsafe, this particular road, but what people didn't like was the condition," Mr Khoury told ABC Radio Sydney.
"We know that it carries a lot of traffic, that critical section between Silverwater Road and James Ruse Drive, in particular."
More than 10,000 different roads around the state were named by respondents.
The Lakes Way at Forster and Kings Highway at Bungendore were among regional roads named the worst in the state.
Mr Khoury said there was a record number of roadways named in their Rate Your Roads survey, suggesting the focus had shifted from major roads to smaller roads.
"It's not so much about building the big motorways anymore as it is about fixing those little roads and suburban streets that have experienced damage, particularly over the last 12 months," Mr Khoury said.
On the mend
The survey found new infrastructure and road works had improved the experience of roads that previously were considered some of the city's worst.
NorthConnex opened in October 2020 taking pressure off Pennant Hills Road which was rated among the worst roads the last time the NRMA ran the survey before the 2019 NSW election.
"It's now not only fallen out of the worst list, but it's now appeared among the best roads," Mr Khoury said.
Election plans
The NRMA is taking the campaign across the state ahead of the election on March 25.
Mr Khoury said there had been an increase in funding from the state government and he would like to see more from the federal level.
"This will become an invaluable data set to the NRMA," he said.
"The intent is to fix the roads. It's that simple."
About 60 projects in NSW have been approved for a $312.5 million program to rebuild flood-affected roads and bridges.
It was funded by the federal and state government.
NSW Labor last week announced it would pause the Great Western Highway tunnel project and divert the funding to roads in western Sydney and the regions.
