 | | The routes surveyed were: Metroad 2 from Macquarie Street, Windsor to the Sydney Harbour Bridge; Metroad 3 from Pittwater Road, Mona Vale to Princes Highway, Blakehurst; Metroad 6 from Pennant Hills Road, Carlingford to Princes Highway, Engadine; Metroad 9 from George Street, Windsor to Hume Highway (F5), Campbelltown. |
 | | On most of the Metroads, around 50 per cent of the sections were assessed as having non-compliant speed limits, but on Metroad 9, the figure was 80 per cent. |
 | | Another example is on Metroad 9, where there is a 60 km/h zone on the Northern Road on the outskirts of Narellan (wide lanes, shoulders, overtaking lane), but an 80 km/h zone on the section of Northern Road near Badgerys Creek (2 narrow lanes, no shoulders). |
