悉尼的交通全澳最差，而且最差的就是周三。
如果你觉得周三早晨是个折磨，这可能就是原因：悉尼的交通在一周中间是最糟糕的，新的数据显示。
这个数据还支持很多司机一直在怀疑的一点，那就是悉尼的交通是全国最差的，也是世界上最差的城市之一。
GPS制造商TomTom使用实时交通数据和来自移动装置上的GSP信息---总数超过9200万公里---来监视在悉尼开车需要花费的时间。
它发现平均旅程的司机驾车时间比交通顺畅时多出34%。
这相当于每小时多出38分钟，或者以每次30分钟计算相当于每年多出90个小时。
墨尔本和珀斯的堵车水准是27%，而布里斯班是23%。
周三早晨超过周二和周四成为悉尼交通最糟糕的时段，而周五早晨通常是最顺畅的。
但是周五下午的交通却是5个工作日里最糟糕的晚间时段。
悉尼一些臭名昭著的路段仍然是最拥堵的路段之一。
Eastern Distributor, Old South Head Rd和Chatswood附近的太平洋公路都榜上有名。
同样糟糕的还有Lady Game Dr南段， MilitaryRd， Camperdown附近的Parramatta Rd，以及M4的起点。
Newtown附近的Princes Hwy也被包含在内。
NAMR主席Wendy Machin说这个结果并不令人意外，但是可以通过填补道路网的空白和改善交通管理来解决。
“应该考虑在某些地区设立全天禁停道路”她说。
但是NSW大学的Michael Neuman教授说悉尼需要解决“三流的”公交问题。
“费效比最高的方案就是高效便捷的公交”他说。
在全球方面，悉尼在全球最拥堵的城市中排名17，略低于伦敦和雅典。
前三名是莫斯科，伊斯坦布尔和里约热内卢。
Life in the slow lane: midweek traffic the worst for Sydney drivers
If Wednesday morning feels like a grind, here could be your reason why: Sydney's traffic is at its worst heading into the middle of the working week, new data has found.
The information, collected across last year, also supports what many drivers may have already long suspected - traffic in the harbour city is the worst in the country, and among the worst in the world.
The GPS maker TomTom used live traffic data and GPS information from mobile devices - more than 92 million vehicle kilometre's worth, in total - to monitor how long it takes to travel through Sydney. It found a typical driver on an average trip was in the car for 34 per cent longer than the same journey would otherwise take in free-flowing traffic.
That converted to an additional 38 minutes longer per hour, or almost 90 hours a year based on a 30-minute commute.
Melbourne and Perth recorded an average congestion level of 27 per cent, under the annual index, which recorded a figure of 23 per cent for Brisbane.
Wednesday mornings edged out Tuesdays and Thursdays to generally be the worst time to be on the road in Sydney, while Friday mornings usually promised the most free-flowing traffic of the working week. But those same drivers heading home to start their weekends encountered the worst evening traffic of the five days analysed, it found.
Sydney's most notorious stretches of road were also among the most congested. The Eastern Distributor south of Moore Park Road, Old South Head Road and the Pacific Highway at Chatswood all made the list. As did the southern portion of Lady Game Drive; Military Road between Neutral Bay and Manly; and Parramatta Road in Camperdown, as well as the start of the M4. The Princes Highway through to King Street in Newtown and on to City Road and Broadway was also included.
NRMA president Wendy Machin said the results were not surprising, but could be addressed by closing gaps in the road network or improving traffic management. ''All-day clearways in some areas, maybe that has to be considered,'' she said.
But the University of NSW's Professor of Sustainable Urbanism, Michael Neuman, said Sydney needed to address its ''third-world'' public transport.
''The most cost-effective solution is excellent and varied public transport,'' he said, adding the congestion findings were in line with that of other studies.
The data found the worst day to be on the road last year was November 22 – a Friday marked by thunderstorms.
''If you have bad storms, most cities nearly shut, or close down for a period, as the network recovers,'' said TomTom's Asia Pacific vice-president, Chris Kearney.
Mr Kearney said the company collected the data to use in its GPS navigation devices and transport services, but it was also being used by governments for traffic planning and management.
On a global scale, Sydney was 17th on a list of the world's most congested cities measured in more than 40 countries - narrowly placing behind London and Athens.
Moscow, Istanbul and Rio de Janeiro, in that order, secured the top three spots.
