A survey of more than 15,000 New South Wales drivers has voted the site of a fatal accident on the Pacific Highway earlier this year as the state’s worst patch of road.
The Pacific Highway at Urunga won the dubious honour in the NRMA’s Seeing Red survey for the second year in a row.
Two people, including an 11-year-old boy, were killed in February when a B-double truck slammed into a house in the village.
Bangalow Road at Binna Burra also received a mention coming in at fifth worst road in the state’s northern coastal region.
NRMA Motoring Services President Wendy Machin said the results were no shock.
“I don’t think anyone would be surprised that the Pacific Highway has again been voted the state’s worst road,” Ms Machin said.
“The public won’t stomach further delays with finishing the upgrade of the Pacific Highway and the NRMA again urges the Australian and NSW Governments to work together to meet the 2016 deadline,” Ms Machin said.
