Roadworks for miles, 40km limit, road narrowed down to take your wing mirrors off due to the barriers and the worst part, people who can't drive and know how to stay in their lanes.

Sydney traffic is heavy I give you that, but at least you guys can drive and are courteous. I didn't mind Sydney traffic actually. People go when they should and they let you in. In Perth they'll try and t bone you.

Also with the 3 light thing (at 1.30pm in the arvo, technically not peak hour), the roads are often designed to put a set of traffic lights within 200-300m of the next. I used to work in the engineering department of a local council and that was considered bad design practice, yet that's exactly what they've done here.

But you can laugh. We haven't had tumble weed and kangaroos in the main street since the 1850's.
