Guys, I was up in Sydney last week for 1st time, and travelled most of the Motorways. Geez, they are SO different to Melbourne!
People can stand next to freeway or in centre to catch buses!! Sounds dangerous! Also, I bought a Syd-Way's to get around $30 much worth it better than a map that folds every which way. BUT, how weird that the Motorways or roads on there aren't even built yet. I had edition 11, and went to head to Penant Hill (6) rd from Windsor Rd, went to get on 2 or 4 or 7, and wasn't even built, went to 2 i think and finally got it! And stoplights that weren't even there, were marked in map. .... In Victoria, we have dotted lines or faded lines with "under construction" labelled. Maybe Sydney does run too fast - just like everyone says.
Umm, yeah, getting back to it, the tolls suck there for such a road that is not as efficient as it seems. Lucky, got to one of those toll boothes to get off, and our E-Tag automatically worked! Cool. Travelled many times on them, and out to Bathurst on 4 I think, but just not free flowing in areas. You guys shouldn't have to pay tolls, or expensive ones anyway. Come to Melbourne to see ours...
