Driving out of Sydney on Hume Highway (Canberra/Melbourne) before Christmas Eve
score:3
Accepted answer
Disclaimer: I don't have actual data, only anecdotal.
- The Hume should be relatively straight-forward, barring any car crashes. It'll be busy but the usual choke points north and south bound are the merges (Ourimbah) and traffic lights (Kiama). The Hume has neither of those outside of Sydney.
- It really depends on your starting point. I'd err on the side of the M5 because at least that way you're already on the highway in question, while the M4 will also be busy with traffic heading west.
- Earlier is always better because it lets you beat the traffic. The only thing to be careful of is peak hour with people still heading to work though you should be going against the traffic.

So we ended up heading out rather later than we wanted at 9 AM (because kids), but in the event, there was essentially zero traffic — if anything, it felt like there were less cars on the road than usual!
We went via the M5, which as a bonus seems to finally have finished its endless construction, but I doubt the M4/M7 would have been meaningfully slower.
