Melbourne Is Officially The Congestion Capital Of Australia

If you’ve ever sat in Melbourne traffic thinking, this couldn’t get any worse, then you wouldn’t be wrong.

According to new data from the Australian Automobile Association, Melburnians wait longer in traffic than anyone else in the country.

In statistics obtained by The Age, travel speeds on a trip to Tullamarine from the CBD have dropped by nearly 20 per cent between 2013 and 2018. 

During morning peak period, drivers are required to travel as slow as 51km/h, adding an extra 3.3 minutes to the journey.
