virtueavatar on March 6, 2026 4:01 am So basically there’s [this new thing](https://www.reddit.com/r/melbourne/comments/1rltmuv/increasingly_concerned_about_flat_whites_baristas/o8uqjcq/) starting in the city where we’re removing spaces between words to save a little bit of time when we say it out loud. You can tell that the second photo’s sign is newer than the old one, which confirms this.
Hypo_Mix on March 6, 2026 4:39 am Mont Albert is just a misprint of Mount Albert, but the residents grew to like it and asked it be kept.
do-ya-reckon on March 6, 2026 4:55 am The only thing a Melburnian need refer to the Melways (sic), where it’s two words. https://preview.redd.it/cw3ev845wcng1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=876260b443f266ce3a698a3ec9c47f5bcce07f08
grimacefry on March 6, 2026 5:18 am It has a space. There’s a Kingsway in Sydney (Caringbah), specifically with no space.
Coolidge-egg on March 6, 2026 5:51 am Officially according to DTP it is the Princes Highway East, but locally Kings Way is acceptable. https://preview.redd.it/w5xcituy5dng1.png?width=905&format=png&auto=webp&s=9a2fb12e5ad558ea5cf6cb13fbb628cc4e8a053d
007MaxZorin on March 6, 2026 6:12 am It’s KINGS WAY. And what’s with the “Alt 1” white and black shield? Wasn’t that discontinued like 30 years ago!

slunt01 on March 6, 2026 9:00 am Its a bit like how everyone calls the Princes HWY the “Prin-cess highway!”
-Insert--Name- on March 6, 2026 11:27 am Well, according to the old Government maps is actually ‘King’s Way’ (yes there is an apostrophe in there) – see [https://viewer.slv.vic.gov.au/?entity=IE15499030&mode=browse](https://viewer.slv.vic.gov.au/?entity=IE15499030&mode=browse)

I like to see a swaying king.

The Prince’s Hwy goes by many more names.
So basically there’s [this new thing](https://www.reddit.com/r/melbourne/comments/1rltmuv/increasingly_concerned_about_flat_whites_baristas/o8uqjcq/) starting in the city where we’re removing spaces between words to save a little bit of time when we say it out loud.
