While road conditions are mostly good, familiarise yourself with driving conditions, as Sydney experiences diverse weather, and occasional flooding during rainy seasons.
Castle Hill's rush hour and busiest roads
Peak hours in Castle Hill coincide with typical commuter times, leading to increased traffic on major roads. The M2 motorway, Old Northern Road, and Showground Road are among the busiest routes. Plan your travels outside rush hours (7am to 9am and 4pm to 6.30 pm) for a smoother drive and consider alternate routes when necessary.
