Traffic congestion in Sydney is not really traffic it is a carpark.

I suggest offering all truck drivers a free coffee for an hour in the morning and afternoon between the hours of 7:30 to 8:30 and 5:30 to 6:30. All large trucks off the main roads during these times to allow the traffic to flow quicker. Surely it must be frustrating to drive such large vehicles in a tight stop start condition, plus also having people zip in front of them making their driving a complete disaster waiting to happen.
Any takers?

Mike I really appreciate the thought you have put into this issue. I agree with a lot of what you have said. All Lights are in place now, I think that for the short term all lights should be on green on main roads in peak hour traffic and the only way to enter the main thoroughfare is to go to a major entrance that has access by blending (sorry lost the word for this), (like on freeways) this should be in place for two hours in morning and night.

If you are driving in the right hand lane and not going the speed limit you should be fined.

Like the turnaround suggestion.
