Those noisy reversing beepers

Metro Rail told me some time back that they are going to enforce the rule that all ‘vehicles’ on site will need to have the new generation reversing beepers – the ones that sound more like a quack and are MUCH less penetrating.

MOST vehicles have complied but some have not, I’ve been told that perhaps the sub-contractors have not yet changed their equipment…tough.  Tell them they are banned from site until the fix it!!

Here is an example of the banned one

If you hear one – take a short video plus a still photo to identify the offender.  I’ll start sending through to MMRA

What will St Kilda Rd be like after these tram works??

I was trying to get my head around where the cars and the trams will go after these current works are complete.  I dropped in to the pop up shop at 402 St K Rd and picked up this map.

I didn’t talk to anyone but this map shows the centre car lane get moved across to the side lanes near the Royce Hotel.  I suspect that there will no longer be any right turns at Toorak Road.20170705_131852

As always photos of the progress are here.  Note you can ‘subscribe’ to the photo site and you’ll get a message when I post new photos.
