The average vehicle speed in the Adelaide peak is the slowest in Australia (the Australian News Network picture)
The latest report reconfirms the fact that the Aussie is stuck on the way too long. Part of the city's urban road congestion is much worse than other cities, but the results may be unexpected.
The Australian Association of Motor Vehicles (AAA), according to the Australian News Network, released the latest annual congestion report detailing the average vehicle speed at the peak of major roads in the major capital cities of Australia. Adelaide is the slowest city in the peak of Australia, with an average vehicle speed of only 54.3 km/ h.
The report analyzes all anonymous data collected from smartphones, vehicle sensors, GPS positioning devices and road sensors, covering more than 6 million sections.
Sydney is the second-slow city in Australia, with an average speed of only 59.2 km/ h in the morning and the evening. Melbourne is followed by a peak average of 59.9 km/ h.
Perth ranked fourth, followed by Hobart and Canberra. Brisbane lost the title of Australia's most commuter city, replaced by Darwin, who averaged 71.5 km / h during the rush hour.
Another measure of congestion in the report is the difference between the average speed of peak hours and the speed of free traffic. According to this indicator, the peak congestion in Sydney is the most serious.
Bradley (Michael Bradley), head of the Australian Automobile Association, calls on government to develop a strong road congestion solution
"No one can benefit from road congestion, everyone has to pay the price," Bradley said. If we want to develop an effective solution, we first need to understand the problem in depth. The report confirmed the congestion problem known to the vast majority of residents in Australia's major cities and hoped that it would facilitate discussion and resolution, and that Australia would develop sensible measures to address the growing traffic congestion problem.
