That aside, personally I think that ADRs probably have had their day and we just get onboard with another standard.
There is one particular intersection on my daily commute where doing a right hand turn would be dangerous in a LHD car - intersection of Boundary Rd and Flemington Rd in Kensington.

But you'd play it smart and just avoid it and go another way

Also Maccas drive-thru.
