5 lanes of chaos.
Wait till 7am/5pm.
Enter your desired route into google maps.
Check estimated time (which uses live traffic updates)\thread
Awful.
In the morning it's ok until you get to Beenleigh / Logan, nightmare after that… Afternoon sucks too. Catch the train if you can it has free wifi :)
If you live in Brisbane and commute to the Gold Coast it's probably a little over an hour each way. If you live on the Gold Coast and work in Brisbane, it's almost double.
Widest road in Australia and its still chokkers !
Very, very busy. Something like 14,000 people drive from the Gold Coast to Brisbane (and back in the evening) each day. 7am and 5pm are amongst the worst times to be on the roads in those directions. Is the train an option for you?
Why don't you go for a drive?
