Traffic delays and congestion on busy road networks across Sydney's CBD are predicted to significantly affect the opening and performance of the new $2.9 billion light rail train line running through the central city.
Internal documents from New South Wales' transport agency disclosed complications in running 67-metre public transport vehicles across a busy area every four minutes.
A roads official has stated that any impacts on traffic signal coordination between closely spaced intersections would increase a risk of queuing across the tram tracks, which would ultimately cause delays.
