The latest NRMA Rate Your Road and Trauma report for the Mann region revealed a lengthy list of complaints for a number of the city's roads.

Among the most criticised was Inglewood Road with seven votes for the worst in the region. Anonymous responses to the survey shared a common concern around potholes.

"[It's a] major access road from Wagga to the Wagga Airport, [yet] very narrow, single lane, broken edges and heavily patched or broken surface," one response stated.

Another person stated that "the road constantly has many potholes which is difficult to negotiate when oncoming traffic is present".

Wagga's Pearson Street and Dobney Avenue also received bad wraps, with the former labelled "appalling" by one respondent and "at best, very rough" by another.

Dobney Avenue was voted by three individuals as the worst of the region, with one respondent claiming the stretch of road "develops a lot of deep, sharp-edged holes that are more than capable of ripping a tyre to bits or wrecking a front end".

Old Narrandera Road and Glenfield Road rounded out the list of damning votes, each contributing to the city's overall condition ranking of just 39.83/100.

Glenfield Park resident Damien Love mirrored community concerns for the roads around the suburb, and said any efforts to fix the problem only made for a bumpier ride.

"The roads have been patched up in places over and over again for too long," he said.

"My iPhone has a feature where you can tap the back three times to take a screenshot, so you have to turn it off otherwise you end up with 50-odd screenshots from driving between Barbecues Galore and Glenfield Park as the phone bumps around in the console."

The solution, according to Mr Love, was too start from scratch, but he acknowledged that was easier said than done.

"They really need to be ripped up and redone, but I understand that is logistically difficult being a busy road," he said.

"We pay our taxes and car registration just like everyone in the metro areas, but look at the state of the roads we have to drive on still."

Forest Hill Progress Association president Kevin Kerr the issue with roads in the city's eastern suburb was more than just the potholes.

"One of the main problems with Inglewood Road is that it's too narrow, and it's like going over ruts the whole way because of so many repairs and patchwork," he said.

Mr Kerr said many of Forest Hill's roads had begun to break up, which he put down to the unexpected growth of the suburb.

"There's the school, shops and the RAAF base which all draw in traffic," he said.

"There are so many new houses being built and land developed, the suburb is expanding.

"I think they expect the roads to last longer than they do, and 15 years ago they wouldn't have taken into consideration just how much traffic has increased."

Wagga's roads also ranked poorly for safety, with an overall scoring of 42.1/100.

Complaints were raised on social media by residents regarding stretches of the Sturt Highway and other thoroughfares, indicating the risk of being "rear-ended" when turning into facilities such as the Caltex fuel station and Gumly store.

A Transport for NSW spokesperson said they are "continually assessing safety and speed zones on the NSW road network".

"There is appropriate sight distance for eastbound vehicles turning into the Caltex at Gumly Gumly," they said in a statement.

"Widened shoulders are provided at this location to enable traffic to manoeuvre safely around vehicles waiting to turn right into the service station."

The spokesperson said Transport for NSW had also made moves to improve line markings in certain areas wearing away.

"Correspondence has been received in the past 12 months relating to the line marking at Smith Street in Forest Hill, and new line marking has been carried out recently," they stated.
