Toll Roads
In an hour and a half the M7 becomes a real toll road when the free "softening up" period comes to an end.
I believe the M7 is very good, even though there was confusion with drivers having multiple choice speed limits at one spot.
"Its someone elses fault" was the reply when asked about this problem.
Someone wrote in to a paper and asked why would they build such an important road with only two lanes?
The state government has this idea to only use private money, hence tollways to get roads builtand toll companies don't mind if traffic ambles past it's e-pass sensors, as long as they go past.
But wouldn't it make better sense for the RTA/GOV to kick in the extra needed, to make it three lanes now, rather than have to do it at vast expense later, (not to mention the traffic disruption)
Speaking of toll roads, the Cross city tunnel got a mention this morning.
In a report in the Sunday Telegraph it's alledged that the lawyers who did the tunnel contracts for the Gov. also worked for the tunnel people.
It must help when you know what the other side is thinking.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxWell there's relief from the dreaded school zones for drivers over the Summer break , but it'll be on again next month.
Ask anyone and there are few people that have got used to them.
Drivers need to slow down at schools or anywhere for that matter,
depending on conditions.
To make drivers aware of school zone times, they need more than just signs .
Flashing lights would be the answer.
