Backstreets Vs Gps

[GTR-N1]

GPS of course, is a great boon to travelling from A to B + it saves domestic disputes (big time).

But when you're funnelled into gridlock somewhere, even a belated alternative route may not be able to get you out of that fix - and we all know what Sydney roads are like Fri to Mon!

So tell us what your favourite "Shortcuts" are!

Help us!

Terry why not just create it on google maps, much easier to digest than a long list.
I'd avoid burwood road and canterbury road, both a pretty congested no matter what time of day, this is my tried and tested:

Fortunately...

The section of Canterbury Rd I'm talking about is only for 100m

The section of Burwood Rd is only for 1.2Km southbound along a quiet stretch

Thanks for the link > I do need to shed my geriatric brain and experiment with google maps
