2way freeway? I have always thought it was a bit stupid but somehow it appears to work ok. Never been on it myself so doesn't affect me.
I believe they have fixed the freeway, but seriously...Quote:

The power cuts must have been a figment I guess....

I suppose the Engineering crowd did leave some fit for purpose drain holes at the foot of the walls? Yeah Mr bee of course they would. Wouldn't they?:Rolling::Thump: Those shown appear far too small to cope.
Hands up all those who told the Boss not to dig up the old road & it could be used in an emergency. Thought so, bloody no-one. Just as well he used his nouse then.:Thump:
It makes one wonder how many serious &/or normal road accidents occurred over the years by motorists to beat the cutoff times.
Must have been some doozy excuses when they reported the prang to the nearest cop shop.[bigrolf]
Cop. " Yeah we've heard it all before. Next".

Hopefully they have been replaced by now & no bright spark in Oz has caught on to this "fantastic Boss", idea noticed by some prat while on a Gubbmint sponsored all expenses paid Traffic Planning educational trip to the UK. .[bighmmm]
LOVED that section through Mordialloc ! - AFTER I recovered from my first time.... Girlfriend of tha day gave directions which included this little surproise... the one she "forget" to mention. Of course, having a beige car with a massive steel roo bar - painted in Safari style black and yellow bands may have contributed to survival...Quote:

I never had a problem with it. These days it's mainly used by locals, as the Frankston Freeway, and now Peninsula Link bypass it. Ian should try them next time..Quote:
