I drive through some red right hand turn arrows now, usually late at night, on my way back from the country. It just seems pointless to sit there when it is a green light for straight ahead traffic, at a deserted intersection when there are no cars coming from the opposite direction.
The red arrow onto the freeway at Brunswick Road. (That's on my way out of town)
The red arrow off Brunswick Road, around the back way along Park Street.
The red arrow on the big round about in front of the university, is it Princess Street?
Turning right out of Bell Street, on the bypass of Sydney Road intersection.
Some of the pointless intersections on Victoria Street.
There are clear roads in front of me, no traffic coming from the other direction and no red light camera, it's pointless just to sit there because some bureaucrat deemed a right hand turn arrow should be installed.
There is also an environmental issue too, sitting still burning all that fuel waiting for the green arrow.
It's my own small tyranny, as Mark would say.
Sign Sign everywhere a sign. Blocking out the scenery breaking my mind. Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
