M5 South West Motorway

The M5 South West Motorway (M5) is the key route between Sydney, its south western suburbs and beyond, connecting you with the F5 Freeway, the M5 East Freeway and the Westlink M7.

Whether you're a daily traveller, weekend escaper or occasional tourist, the M5 makes every journey safer, faster and more cost effective.

Since its completion, the M5 and E-way, have saved Sydney motorists countless hours and millions of dollars, reduced air, noise and water pollution and made travelling faster and safer for everyone.

From 1 July 2013, the M5 South West will become fully cashless meaning you will need a tag or pass to pay for tolls. Learn about payment options
