| 1228002 | 2011-09-01 06:55:00 | The rules have changed as the right hand rule did not allow for those turning right into a road on their right into a road where there is no Stop sign, Give way sign etc as the new rules will. For example at the moment I have to give way to all vehicles on my right. The new variant will allow me to turn right across another turning right if I am on a straight through road. |

| 1228003 | 2011-09-01 09:42:00 | Relax. People will be extra careful around intersections to start with. Didn't take me long to get use to the rule here in the UK. | wmoore (6009) | ||
| 1228004 | 2011-09-02 10:29:00 | So make plans to grow old and die while waiting for all the lanes to clear to allow you to turn right. This change is a HUGE waste of our taxes. Even if it does reduce crashes, the cost of changing lane layouts, traffic signal timings and turning bays at thousands of intersections will cost us a fortune. Now every city intersection will have to be investigated by an overpaid engineer or similar even higher paid consultant in order to ensure there won't be chaos, and to suggest re-designs to road layouts, signals and signage that somehow should all be instigated at the stroke of midnight on a single date. |

You have to ask, who exactly decides these matters for us.? |

Rubbish Paul. It worked perfectly fine before the change and Aussie change back some time ago and it is more logical if you are turning right to give way to all traffic. |

( That's not 1908 by the way.) Seriously, the sooner this change comes, and people get used to it, the better. It is only going back to what the road rules were before 1973, and brings us into sync with the rest of the world. It is not as though we were about to start driving on the right! |
