Funny how there's a marked improvement in the traffic flow when a cop on a bike parks up on the Resmed corner to observe the roundabout. All of a sudden it works again - well as best as it can with the "prioritised" flow effect generated by all the right turn traffic.

When people follow the rules (ie, when a cop is there) it flows much better - that's why they implement rules.

But you can't educate people with self-entitlement issues.....
You wouldnt believe what I saw was just around the corner in Victoria st where the car dealers are, those 3 round abouts through the 50km stretch. Up near the hillsong/shell servo gets pretty out of control some days.

I know the area well. I figured you'd know Norwest Blvd. Out of control is most days!

yeah, Sydney is a big rat race, thank god i,m far from it.
Without entering into the stupid argument that one state is better than another, I have been driving for over 30 years whilst living in qld,nsw,vic&wa. I currently live in sydney & can honestly say it is the worst city for aggressive & impatient drivers by a long shot. Before you ask, I'm from tasmania. Wife & I are moving to blue mountains soon, will be nice to have sane roads again.
