      I think it’s also a case of inconsiderate drivers who may know and just hope to squeeze in, especially when busy etc, there’s tons of junctions with turn only lanes that people use to head straight for example, just to beat 5/6 cars in a queue. Infuriating.

      I have someone wanting to turn right from the left hand lane of a 4 lane road on my way to work at least once a week. I don’t think road signs are the problem.

      There is a similar one in Southbank on city road and you can hear someone mess up and cars honk every 10 mins. It’s a really bad design!

      It’s a bad design: it’s rare, it’s unclear and it’s unintuitive. And it’s often collocated with other bits of poor road design.

      Pretty intuitive to me. Immediate turn right, veer right after the crossroad and go straight.

      I’d take the directions as being straight, then first exit to the right for the diagonal and the turn would be the second exit to the right.

      Melbourne in general has really bad drivers as of today. And it’s only last 2-3 years, when things have suddenly bad. I saw absolute batshit insane driving during easter holidays. People trying to turn left from middle lane, speeding 10+kms over the speed zone, 80 in 60 zone, a truck casually merging without even bothering to do a headcheck and what not. Melbourne driving has slid of so bad that even Perth drivers looks sane infront of them.

      It’s not that they don’t know – drivers just don’t give a flying fuck

      lmfao you think thats bad, they had road works with a sign road with the words closure ahead on St Georges road In Melbourne and two arrows ↖️↗️ clearly shows two directions because its a two lane road and some idiot ahead managed to turn it into a one lane bottle neck and I drove up along the side to recreate the two lanes and a person in front of literally blocked me off and starts yelling as if I was the asshole trying to cut in, dumbass couldnt read a road sign I literally just parked my car on one side of the road while people could move up along side my car just to prove to that idiot that its two lanes not one. People on the roads are clueless and we really need to do re testing every 5-10 years when we renew our licences. Half the people on the roads are clueless on how to merge, the whole point of an on ramp is to match the speed of the traffic, solid black line on the on and off ramp means you do not cross it, if you miss your off ramp go to the next. You do not give way to the right in a round about, you give way to all traffic in the round about, 1 rule I have yet to see any other drive follow, you must indicate out of a roundabout, people only ever do this one when they turn left at one.

      Well to get a license here all you need to do is buy a family pack of Weetabix at your local Coles.

      I’d put good money on all of those road markings being completely obscured by traffic 90% of the time.

    22. Tanglas_V on

      Here’s me thinking OP us talking about the 2 rightmost lane, which are also different😭

      I’m like what even is that 3rd and 4th exit of a roundabout? Is this a 4 crossroads roundabout then I read caption and realize dumbass that’s just a faded right arrow.

    23. Conscious-Read-698 on

      There’s a lot of new people here that just transfe licenses over without learning much 

    24. Ok-Duck-5127 on

      I can guess what it means but don’t think I’ve ever seen that road marking.

    25. glippglapp on

      Melbourne has some of the most annoying and unique road rules of any of the major cities. I’m not even talking about hook turns, but those weird intersections where the light will be red but you can go if there’s a green arrow because it sort of indicating towards to different roads, one left and one slightly to the left of straight.

    27. isd3 on

      The real question does slight right get to go if there’s a green arrow for right turn and a red light for straight

    29. CloakerJosh on

      Assume I’ve never seen a diagonal arrow on the road in my entire fucking life.

      Can someone please help me out with a basic explanation?

    30. Cautious_Tax_9497 on

      Really? That is weird, maybe bad design and no early warning of the road sign. If there are early indicators, then this is very simple to read.

    34. johnr7070 on

      Not every driver is familiar with merges and off ramps in every situation. It can be confusing. Patience is the right answer.

      First 2 arrows are entry to west bound city link, diagonal arrow is next entry to east bound city link.
