Australian roads

As ReidG says " Australia is probably particularly difficult because of our generally poorly engineered and maintained roads.'


Some of us live in rural locations with generally unsealed roads, frequently narrow,
I find the main hazards are kangaroos, fallen trees sheep and the rare oncoming traffic.
At harvest time the traffic mainly consists of road trains carting grain, they take all the formed road. When autonomous vehicles can cope with these and decide whether to drive over the tree or round it on or off the formed road (or go home and get a chainsaw) they are of no use here.
