NSW:RTA to list NSW's 100 busiest roads: govt

The New South Wales government has pledged to pinpoint the state's 100 busiest roads
and improve them .. after a new report found Sydney is one of the worst cities in the
world for traffic congestion.

The RTA will publish travel times on the top 100 roads four times a year .. allowing
motorists to hold the government accountable.

Roads Minister DAVID BORGER says this will provide the information needed for government
to fix accident blackspots and congestion pinch points.

The state opposition says it's something the RTA should be doing as a matter of course.

Opposition transport spokesman ANDREW STONER says announcing they're going to do something
they should have been doing all along is quite bizarre.

The IBM Australian Commuter Pain survey has ranked Sydney tenth in the world for the
most pain experienced by commuters.
