Must be nice to have the money for that extra bit of bitumen.

I'm with mj on this. Surely the White line means don't cross?

[mjrandom]

That's bizarre. Ian the highway lines just separate the traffic a bit more these aren't the same.

Saw that on our way home last month. They have had them for a while on the Bruce highway. Apparently has reduced the number of head on and near misses by a huge amount by giving people that extra distance before they collide

seen a new line marking test while we were away.
Just outside of Hay.
there is about 1MTR between the lines in the middle of the road.
Heaps of signs up telling drivers how it works.
2 unbroken lines 1 mtr apart not safe to overtake both way ETC..

Is that a merging lane for cyclists

Jeepers. There was a test done in the uk where they took all line marking off a road, and traffic actually slowed down because drivers felt unsafe.

My guess this is cheap way of hitting a target. "Yes sir, we created a new cycle lane and hit this months kpi "

Yikes, the line markers were either drunk, or were shaking their heads with dismay when the traffic engineering graduate came up with that line making layout... That's amazingly crazy...

Ludicrous, dangerous and utterly stupid road markings added to a street that was previously a wide, free-flowing and safe street with wide lanes that only had centre lines around the blind bends.

Look at the stupidity of these road markings, their silly curves and, worse, how they force vehicles into dangerous angles around blind bends with little separation between on-coming vehicles and the curb.

I kid you not, these were recently added by the local council after the road was resurfaced, despite there not been a single road safety incident in at least 5 years that I know of.


Seriously, these road markings are just crazy:


Parking and cyclist lane added to the inside curve on a blind sharp bend.


Look at the misaligned and 'S' bends in the new centre double-white lines, forcing vehicles to sway left and right around a bend.


And God only knows the purpose of these road markings:

In his (partial) defence - he hardly gets to drive the Prado because it's SWMBO's shopping trolley. He's relegated to the work Ranger.

Confucious say " don't forget to turn on reversing sensors or SWMBO will get mad." That's exactly what my brother forgot to do with his (SWMBO's) 150. Now he's up for a complete rear bumper and new rear door.

Yep that switch turns off the driver's eyes too.

That one keeps getting me as we put bikes/camper trailer on the back then take them off, put them on, etc. I keep forgetting to turn the sensors back on when there is nothing there.

Why can't they make the switch a momentary one to cancel it until the ignition is turned off?
