[AUS] Australian Freeways and Roads

laxor · April 10th, 2006, 02:00 PM

This is Sydney's newest Motorway which links together the 3 existing motorways that sprawl out into Sydney's western suburbs.

Not very busy eh?

Tuxa4evskiy · April 10th, 2006, 02:18 PM

I guess it is very new... Where are the cars?

Kidding. Very cool road, nice pix and beautiful landscapes. Well just 5*

AG · April 10th, 2006, 02:24 PM

I hope there's traffic

most of the pics were taken by the owners of the road before it was opened - hence why its not busy

Yes thats right. They are beautiful pictures and i wanted to share them

Æsahættr · April 10th, 2006, 11:08 PM

Can I have it?

Bertez · April 10th, 2006, 11:08 PM

It is very clean

Accura4Matalan · April 10th, 2006, 11:34 PM

How come it only has 2 lanes each way?

I would have thought in a large city like Sydney, it would have at least 3 each way.

Good old NSW 2 lane freeways. I don't know why, but NSW insists on building 2 lane roads despite the fact that this is a city of 4 million+ people.

Freeways here in Victoria are bigger and there is more of them. Also our hard shoulders are wider!

You need all the lanes you can get to handle all the traffic trying to get the hell away from bleak city melbourne.

Saab · April 11th, 2006, 02:00 PM

lol at least you can leave and drive into Melbourne without having to stop at toll booths and traffic lights.

zach24 · April 11th, 2006, 02:14 PM

yeah but the world knows melbourne is a bore!

and saab - like i have said on many occassions - if you had a brain - well then you would know that on the M7 there are no toll booths - its all e-tags

Saab · April 11th, 2006, 02:37 PM

Melbourne is a bore my dick. You've never been outside Dydney so you wouldn't have a clue.

M7 has no toll booth oh no shit mate. It's the ED, WD, M2, SHB Warringah freeway that have booths. Melbourne has mastered electronic tolling in 1999.

DrJoe · April 11th, 2006, 02:54 PM

Not only is it just 2 lanes but it looks like it would be near impossible to ever expand it.

Everyone this is an example the typical Melbournian with a massive inferiority complex.

They are very jealous people.

The M7 is not a high volume road. Most users use it only for short distances. The M5 and M4 both have more than 2 lanes each way.

First of all, the WD and Warringah aren't tolled! Get your facts right! SHB and ED are only tolled inbound! Bloody Hell. And besides, they're being changed over to electronic tolling and besides, it's a lot easier to start by building a fully tolled road

why would I be jealous of a place where almost all the motorways are 2 lanes and are tolled wth toll booths.

It's better that the motorways are 2 lanes. It encourages fewer people onto the road network and forces more onto public transport. The toll booths are worse, but the smaller motorways are better.

yeah the chaotic traffic in Sydney is a real testament to the use of PT there.
