Driving in Melbourne CBD can be quite stressfull because you share the road with the trams. If you’re not very careful enough you may bump into one of them in the intersection and the effect can be very bad because of the momentum. Having said that, a special traffic control system is implemented in intersections to give way to trams and also to improve traffic flow. This special traffic method is called the “hook turn”. You do a hook turn when you’re turning right and you need to wait in the left lane to go around instead on the right. You can only turn around right when the traffic light turns red. The hook turn procedures keep the middle of the road free for cars going straight and of course for trams. Here’s the Hook Turn road sign taken in one of the intersections.

Another hook turn sign..

And here is the tram coming.

And more trams..

And watch out for the trams..

Cars making a hook turn..


Just wondering, can we call the cars making a hook turn “hookers”?

I wish to express my disatisfaction as to the content of this post.
I feel I have been sorely misled.
Yeah, me too! I’m disappointed. I was expecting to see ladies in skimpy shorts (at least!) hehe
Hi Fellas - Sorry if I didn’t meet your expectations. Unfortunately what you’re thinking is not gonna happen on this site. haha
I can’t believe you’re finally driving. I can still remember when you had your vacation in the Philippines (December 2006), where you almost glued yourself in the front seat when i suddenly turned right and drove on the opposite direction..but, hey, nothing beats a driver in the Philippines..hahaha. if you can drive in there, then I must say I can call you a full-pledged driver!!! Fasten your seatbelt!!!
I find it informative !!! but still disappointed heheheh I thought I will going to see some hookers heheheh next time when you say hookers mean it heheheeh
