These have all disappeared, but the right turn from the left lane (hook turn) remains.

There is an intersection in West Brunswick that still has lights that light up the orange with the red before they turn green - Only set I know still in existance.

Hook turns are another story - they keep the tram tracks clear so they aren't going anywhere. And afterall, it's sooooo much fun watching out of towners try and negotiate them. 😁

The suicide lane, Nepean Highway springs to mind.

Some say there is an unsolved code within this video.
It's a bit... weird.

That's easy. The man is complaining that he can't get a cab.
When you think about it; if you were a cabby you wouldn't give a lift to an Uber driver either.

If I saw someone in a beak doctor mask, I wouldn't pick them up either!
Gives me the willies.
