Many residents in the area of the motorway bought their homes secure in the knowledge that the road reservation that has existed for the past 46 years would be used for the M5 East motorway.

 M5 Merge Safe
Traffic congestion is common during peak times on Sydney’s M5 East Motorway at the Kingsgrove Road on-ramp and often occurs when a surge of vehicles joins the traffic flow.
To address this, the RTA is introducing the ‘Merge Safe’ ramp metering system on the Kingsgrove Road on-ramp to the M5 East Motorway during peak traffic periods.
Ramp metering uses traffic lights and road sensors to manage the rate at which vehicles are allowed to merge with motorway traffic.The system regulates the number of vehicles able to enter the motorway by providing feedback to the traffic lights at the on-ramp.

 Motorway takes toll on rail trips - smh.com.au
This is almost double the rate of the general decline in CityRail patronage - of 2.7 per cent from 281.5 million in 2001 to 274 million in 2002 - thought to be associated with a drop in jobs in the CBD and the increased attractiveness of cars after the introduction of the GST.
The drop is noticeable from January last year - just after the opening of the M5 East tunnel, which provided a free extension to the existing M5 motorway - when 53,329 fewer people took the train than in January 2001.
The figures come as traffic on the M5 continues to soar, with the average daily number of motorists in February up 45 per cent on the same month in 2001, prior to the December 2001 opening of the $800million M5 East.

 Print Article: Eastern Distributor toll to rise   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
A spokesman for operator Airport Motorway Ltd said it was an easier "coin mix", which means motorists would likely hand over two coins instead of three.
The distributor has been one of the big beneficiaries of the $800million taxpayer funded M5 East tunnel, which has stimulated traffic on the two motorways since December 2001.
A company spokesman said the overwhelming majority of motorway journeys are return, making a return trip on the M2, M4 or M5 more expensive than the distributor, where only the northbound traffic is tolled.
