Hehe... they're good indeed. They got a consultant from Germany to sort out traffic problems in the Prairiewood shopping complex in western sydney. The council at the time put speed humps every 5m (yes read 5 meters) all around the adjacent streets to the car park in order to stop the hoons. As a result it did slow traffic dramatically and created massive traffic jams. First thing he said was to get rid of the speed humps. So they sent him packing back home and told him he didn't know what he was talking about. Expensive exercise though flying an expert from Germany and not listening.
