Now that dates me.
The law was originally introduced at the time of the first trains in the 1840s-50s but not rescinded in Queensland until after 1960 at least.

So are you saying that in 1959 they still had a man ringing a bell and waving a red flag?

They sure did

And into the '70s at Newstead, that's 1970s.

That's pretty up to date for Qld, they still had milk in milk bottles and milkos into the 90's

I've driven back and forth across a loop on a turn lane late at night a few times to get lights to change, usually when I've just missed-out on following another vehicle through.

I've been known to hop off my bike and go and press the walk button, too.

QLD didn't realised there were other states until 1987 after Joe left

Why, if you are at a controlled intersection when the control part is not working would you not make a decision. This is not working ignore it. To me most controlled intersections should be flashing yellow at low traffic movement. Again we make decisions at more uncontrolled intersections than ones with lights. I don't understand why you get off a bike to change the lights. Is it I don't want to break the law. I truly don't understand this
