    I will never not internally remark on how stuffed NSW roads and infrastructure seem to be just over the border.

    As a driver, the most annoying thing really is the no u turn except when permitted rule.

      I didn’t actually know that was a thing. But yeah that seems pretty annoying. I also noticed that if a pedestrian is waiting to cross and gets a green man, all vehicle lights will stay red until the red man starts flashing, which is pretty cool though I do see how it could be annoying for drivers. Unfortunately that doesn’t provide as much protection as you’d think, because their pedestrian timings are completely whack, at least here in Albury. I’ve crossed ~9 signalised pedestrian crossings today, and on not one of them have I made it to the middle island before the man starts flashing
