The Melbourne Hook

So Melbourne has this thing called “the Melbourne hook.” In order to turn right, you must go into thefar left lane and cross 4+ lanes of traffic to make your right turn. The excuse for this is the trolleys that run in the middle of the road- you can’t go into the far right lane to turn right because you can’t block the trolleys. Instead, you endanger the lives of yourself and others by gunning across multiple lanes of traffic for a simple right turn. This is the Melbourne Hook. And let me tell you- it is thoroughly confusing and terrifying for out of town drivers.

The sign explains it all?
