if anyone has learnt to drive in NSW then come here you know what iu mean

[wrk21]

for a busy intersection it seems to flow pretty well...

if that was in QLD main roads would have put in a round- about and stuffed the whole thing.

Heh. Round-abouts. I grew up an learnt to drive in Lismore. Bloody round-about leader in the world.

I remember my first lesson 6 yrs ago and my driving instructor took me through that mammoth Ballina rd/Whyralla rd round-about. I thought I was going to die...

In all honesty though, the first couple of years i lived up here I was like "Bloody QLD drivers". Now whenever I go home to visit the folks, it's "Bloody NSW drivers". I guess you just get used to it.

Roundabouts make things easier, just idiots dont know how to drive in them. Like not indicating for a start. Lisa has finally learnt this after a years of what the f... are you doing? He gave me the finger, no wonder, read the road code.... 8O
Carrara is a prime example, when heading westbound.
Right lane=nerang, left lane=left or straight. How many times in the morning do you get a spastic who is running late & uses the left lane & goes right for nerang. I have seen 2 good accidents. I wish the cops will sit there one day, they would make thousands, & maybe wake a couple of (Alert admin)s uo.

Frenchy :D

[mjscookie]

I've been to vietnam. So much for pedestrian crossings. It's also amazing what they manage to fit on the back of their bikes..fidges, massive ice blocks, the family...

The reason why we have so many Rounder abouts in QLD
Is because round abouts are cheeper than trafic lights to install
So where does all the revenue go from those millions  in fines
It makes u think
 
So grab a few friends and u can go round and round and round
Well y not you payed for it lmao

[RJ_Archer]

i live just out of lismore(10 min) and HOLY CRAP we have almost been cleaned up soooo many times

[braddo]

Don't know how many roundabouts lismore more has but try noosa shire they have nearly 150 roundabouts just in this shire alone. Noosa I think stands for the land of many roundabouts.

Round abouts are good, quicker imo, but (Alert admin)s just dont get the concept of staying in there lane, they think they can exit and go where ever they want.

If I remember right, :idea:  Brad & Steve, is it your believe that if you are driving straight ahead at the roundabout that you do not have to indicate :?:

Frenchy :D

[cosmotiger1]

ok stupid kiwi.

the rules are
if going straight through from either lane you only indicate left as you are exiting, not like all the wankers up here who indicate right because they are going straight.  :evil:

you can TURN RIGHT "[b:2c01060da1]ONLY IF[/b:2c01060da1]" you are in the inside lane
you can TURN LEFT "[b:2c01060da1]ONLY IF[/b:2c01060da1]" you are in the outside lane
You can go straight from either lane (most roundabouts).

and dont worry kiwi i know your one of the idiots who puts there right hand blinker on when going straight.

[braddo]

That is pretty spot unless arrows show otherwise.
