  1. It's all about efficiency and flow and therefore, safety, stress reduction, public transport effectiveness, less accidents and incidents and even saves petrol. Easy to learn and a lot of fun. The " new " markings for where to wait, weren't there when i resided in Melbourne in the late eighties/early nineties, working at Mercedes-Benz. You just drove up to the corner, closely side on to the cross traffic waiting on your left and edge as close as possible to the corner, allowing as many cars behind you to fit in, wanting to turn as well, without blocking those behind you wanting to turn left. You were able to double up, side by side as well, all watching the green light to your right, with your head turned in that direction. Then two lanes would all turn together, to go across the intersection, and flow down the two marked lanes. Works brilliantly and looks/feels cool - especially when everyone is doing it correctly. Some footage from the late eighties, should show this. Melbourne also has some specific u-turn lanes - but that is another video. 😂😂
