Recently there have been several misleading media articles (in reputable sources) regarding pedestrian, cyclist and personal mobility device road deaths deaths in Australia.

Some have “inaccurately suggested that e-scooters and e-bikes played a significant part in the rise in pedestrian deaths”, when “the fatalities were in fact the riders of e-scooters” (ABC Correction)

Transport NSW now able to laugh at remotely, while you pickyour nose, while sitting in another traffic accident on the M1 at Moony Moony caused by a dual cab ute swerving between lanes.

“The range you can see is just incredible compared to a single CCTV, which may only give you a couple of hundred metres" we can really see how many people are sitting there going nowhere for hours, while we decide not to use the contraflow system, which is perfect for such incidents, but we have never used.

As part of the rollout of new technology, drones will emerge from boxes bolted to spots near the M1 motorway at Mooney Mooney on the Central Coast, while being remotely piloted from Aurbun. We can sit here in our comfortable chairs laughing at all those people being late for work.

An interesting oddity - the TfNSW Queanbeyan station upgrade plan still describes the southbound direction (towards Canberra) as "to Cooma".

The last passenger train left Cooma in November 1988 and the last freight train in 1989!

I added an option to Better Intersections to see which intersections meet the target and recommended max pedestrian wait time in the City of Sydney’s draft walking strategy and action plan!

Just one more lane bro!

TfNSW opened Rozelle Interchange just over a week ago - one of the most complex underground motorway junctions in the world.

You guessed it - it's created new traffic and been front page news since!

The City of Sydney estimated $45B has been spent on the entire (privatised) motorway project known as Westconnex.

Followed all CASA rules (<250gm, visual line of sight, not near people, above empty park).
