The entire Sydney Road area up and down is farked up. Narrow, old, janky-ass roads and footpaths. Roads narrow and tight, with parking, bikes, trams, and pedestrians smushed in with cars trying to use it as an arterial road. Which it is, but’s it’s fucking old and bad. Harrowing to drive in and around.
I feel like it doesn’t get said enough so I need to reiterate this to the universe but the lanes on Bell St west of Sydney Rd are TOO DAMN NARROW

Designed for horses and carts. Which have a built-in collision avoidance system, so to speak.
The original self-driving cars
They managed to expand it to three lanes east of Sydney Road presumably ages ago, but alas, the west is always left behind…
