Another traffic Update...
ETOLL and the Gateway Bridge!!
I have etoll on my car, the traffic ques through the etoll lanes while the bogans that refuse to get etoll zoom through the toll booths and cut around!! NOT FAIR!! I say rip the booths out sooner rather than after the second bridge is built.
The gateway is a complete joke. HALF AN HOUR TO GET OVER THE BRIDGE TODAY!! And there was no sign of an accident or broken down car. But for some reason the whole flow of traffic decides to stop, then slowly start again at a very slow pace to speed up and stop at the booths again. It took me 2 hours to get from the Northside to Ipswich. I just love how our roads have been neglected for so long. The gateway is 25 years almost and is only now seeing an upgrade. I want an even bugger fuel subsidy to account for all the wasted fuel used up while sitting in traffic on a highway that you have to pay to use.
I just hope that the final result doesn't end up being just 3 lanes in each direction when the highway heading down to the Gold Coast manages to be 4 lanes in each direction. If you look around only one highway in Brisbane has more than two lanes and that's the Southeast Freeway that leads to the city. Even then it starts at 4 lanes at the Gold Coast and changes to 3 the closer you get to the city??
Even where the Gateway meets the Logan, the Logan goes from two to one lane, then back to two. During peak hour traffic floods back, same with the Ipswich end of the Logan, two to one lane. But that is currently under construction, we'll see in time how badly they f@$k that one up.
I hate the roads up here!!
