FROM major motorways to local roads, Newport and Gwent’s roads are a vital means of getting from A to B.

But, while travel along the region’s roads is virtually unavoidable these days, it doesn’t mean that we have to like all of them.

For various reasons, some roads fall wide of the mark, and are unpopular with those who travel along them regularly.

It could be down to the amount of congestion on these roads, speed limits, speed cameras – or even concerns as to how safe they feel while travelling along these streets.

While it may prove to be impossible to quantify just what makes one road worse than another, we’ve gone down the qualitative route, with the help of Argus readers.

On Friday, July 23, we took to social media to ask our Facebook audience which road in the area is the worst – and one was mentioned significantly more than any others.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, more people named the M4 than any other road.

The region’s motorway is probably the busiest road, but the section around the Magor area doesn’t appear to have many fans.

Interestingly, our readers also decided to highlight some of the areas worst roundabouts too.

To find out which roads and motorways are the most unpopular, check out a selection of Argus reader comments below.

“Absolute nightmare where majority of people always go into the wrong lane, a few times I’ve had to go back around the roundabout because too many stay in the left lane, under cutting others.”

Ryan West said: “M4 and Cardiff road. As none of the roundabout changes have made it any better.”

Paul Griffin said: “M4 Tredegar Park to Magor.”

Deborah Walker said: “Chepstow high street because the council shut it so when there's an accident blocking the A48 through town the traffic has nowhere to go and it's carnage. Hate the A48 in Chepstow cause it can't cope with the volume of traffic.”

Wayne Crowbar Morgan said: “M4. Needs a bypass on it.”

“Forge Lane. Complete nightmare.
