Legally right but dumb and confusing
There are so many signs around the CYP’s Domain Metro Tunnel site while the works are going on that it is hard to know here to look!! It’s also confusing because the right path seems to change just about every day
A few weeks back they installed this sign for people crossing Bowen Cres..

Unfortunately on the opposing side of the same corner they have installed this one for car drivers

Now strictly speaking the signs are right. Peds heading south should give way to cars on their right because those cars are not turning and the cars coming towards them are turning so they have to give way.
So on the first half of crossing the road, cars have right of way and on the second half of the crossing, peds have right of way.
You may be shocked to know that people find it confusing…but it is legally right
Now today we have this little gem

We are being squeezed into our car park during all this work and so we only have one lane that is for in and out traffic. As you can see, just past the ‘turn left’ arrow, you actually merge right. Legally maybe right, but again a tad confusing
Bottom line – keep your wits about you

Crazy Driving

The narrow service lane next to our apartment block has been open for just a few days to allow car park access for us. The signage is not perfect but I can’t imagine why anyone would think it may be a through road…maybe the 20 kmph was the challenge

Permit me some self indulgence

My book has hit #1 on Amazon US’s Business Management freebies list. I usually charge a couple of dollars and it sells at a slow but steady rate, whenever Amazon suggests I have it on sale (ie FREE), it flies out the door http://tinyurl.com/CIO100Book
Time to update my other book on Internet safety and security..boring stuff but covering how not to get hacked, how to ‘hide’ from Facebook, Amazon, Google et al.

St Kilda Rd driveway – Urgent update
CYP have just let me know that the driveway access via Bowen Cres will not happen by 4pm as scheduled
It will be open tonight but not before 5pm…best guess is 530pm
Drive carefully
