Whoopsie! Sydney's road planners just discovered induced demand is a thing, after opening a new motorway.

For those outside Sydney, the New South Wales state government recently opened a new spaghetti intersection just west of Sydney's Central Business District.

It was supposed to solve traffic. Instead, it's turned into a giant car park:

"For the third straight day, motorists and bus passengers endured bumper-to-bumper traffic on the City West Link and Victoria Road. A trip from Haberfield to the Anzac Bridge on the City West Link averaged an agonising 44 minutes in the morning peak on Wednesday.

"Several months ago, Transport for NSW’s modelling had suggested traffic from the interchange would add only five to 10 minutes to trips on Victoria Road through Drummoyne and over the Iron Cove Bridge during morning peaks.

"Those travel delays have now blown out."

So what do motorists say when their shiny new road that was supposed to solve traffic instead turns into a massive traffic jam?

'Dude! Just one more lane!'

From the article:

"[Roads Minister John] Graham and his Transport boss Josh Murray appear reluctant to do what many motorists reckon is the obvious solution.

"That is, add lanes or make changes at the pinch-points that are causing the pain. A three-lane to one merge point from Victoria Road onto the Anzac Bridge, along with two lanes merging into one on the City West Link, are proving to be painful bottlenecks."

I grew up listening to triple J in Australia and were blessed. There were no ads. Also non-corporate being run by the Australian broadcasting Commission.

I'm a big fan of community radio stations and I have been using radiodroid to save favourite stations on my Android phone and an app called shortwave on my Linux machine.

Some of my favourite community stations in Australia and the world would be

2ser

2rrr. That would be yide regional radio

3rrr. Community radio from Melbourne. I don't know what the triple r stands for there

Just discovered wprb from New Jersey I think and a DJ on there. DJ Solomon. I actually found him while searching for people playing stuff in memory of Steve Albini who passed away recently.
