Why are people that live NOR a complete ****silly people? When I say NOR I'm not talking golden triangle or Bayswater/Maylands etc., I'm talking people that use the Mitchell Freeway, and when I say 'use' there is a fair bit of creative license involved.
Hutton St has been in existence longer than I have. It's not a new street. Nowadays as you head North if you are in the left lane before Hutton St you must exit. There are signs that say exactly this, and there are left turn arrows painted all over the lane. Today as a very infrequent user of the Mitchell Freeway I see the sign then move into the centre lane as I don't want to get off at Hutton St. This is about 4pm, so it's starting to get pretty busy. I reckon 1 in every 2 others accelerates up the relatively empty left lane past the point where the broken line finishes then slams on the brakes and indicates that they want to merge right over the unbroken line. For. ****s. sake. I know people in Perth don't grasp the concept of merging but this isn't even a ******* merge point. The next time the traffic bloke on the radio says 'Freeway slow heading North due to a crash at Hutton St' I will know exactly why. End rant.
