Driving around the city seems to be becoming more of a hassle for commuters, at least according to comments we received from the Yorkshire Evening Post Facebook page when the topic of roads you’d tell your family and friends never to travel on if they come to Leeds.
Be it potholes that prove to be a challenge for suspensions, cycle lanes widened, but preventing through traffic from flowing naturally in and out of the city centre, through to important arteries to transport hubs, becoming nothing more than car parks.
We’ve looked through your local knowledge provided and have taken the 13 worst offenders you suggested - and wouldn’t even wish upon your worst enemy.
7. Oakwood Lane
Multiple nominations came in for Oakwood Lane. The stretch between Easterly Road and Foundry Lane is a particular hotspot for those looking to keep their tyres intact, with one reader suggesting "your suspension will appreciate it." | Google Street View
8. East Leeds Orbital Route
Specifically, the section between the new East Leeds Orbital Route (ELOR) and Shadwell has been flagged as a hazard. Massive potholes have appeared on what is otherwise a high-traffic commuter route, readers said. | Google Street View
9. Whitehall Road
What was once the main artery to Leeds Train Station has now become a trap for motorists, with constant gridlocks and limited access being complained about. One reader referred to it as "Whitehall car park". | Google Street View
10. Clay Pit Lane
A major route into the city centre, readers have found the poor traffic light synchronisation that ensures you stop at every... single... set. | Google Street View
11. Kirkstall Road
Consistently mentioned as one of the most frustrating commutes in the city. High volume combined with restricted lanes makes this a slow-moving "no-go" during peak hours, with many answers simply reading "Kirkstall Road." | Google Street View
12. A64
As a major gateway, the A64 suffers from the "double-whammy" of Leeds driving: heavy traffic and poor maintenance, with readers describing a mix of extreme congestion and "horrendous" road conditions. | Google Street View
