If that all goes smoothly a week later the trucks and buses will change too.


There's a three-lane roundabout in Hobart with odd markings and some weirdness in traffic behaviour. The locals warned me about it when I was there some years ago. I'll see if I can find it on Google Maps ...

OK, enter these coordinates into Google Maps and press the search button, then zoom in where the green arrow is and switch to satellite photo:
Code:
-42.878001,147.330992
IIRC, there are traffic lights at points within the roundabout.
