Eagle-eyed motorists spot funny typo on "confusing" new interchange
The new interchange at Rozelle, in Sydney's inner west, has already copped backlash just days after its opening, because of the confusing signage and changed traffic conditions causing chaos among commuters.
Now, motorists have spotted another awkward blunder at the bustling "spaghetti junction", intended to improve traffic.
Just metres away from the main intersection along Victoria Road and Darling Street, some poor road worker made the same typo twice, in a left-hand turn lane.
Instead of saying "buses excepted", they painted "buses expected", and now their mistake has gone viral on social media.
"If I was a road, I'd expect buses too," one joked.
"I get my bus near there and I'm constantly expecting buses that don't show, so seems accurate," another quipped.
The interchange itself has been years in the making and opened up on Sunday.
It was intended to connect drivers to the M4 and M8 tunnels, the City West Link, the Western Distributor and give access to the Anzac Bridge with a toll-free bypass of Victoria Road.
While the aim of it was to improve traffic flow, just four days after its opening locals are still complaining about the chaotic strip, specifically it's poorly designed signage that has reportedly baffled drivers.
One of the new signs suggested there was a toll from Iron Cove Bridge to Anzac Bridge, and while it is actually free, commuters are avoiding the tunnel and trying to switch across multiple roads to avoid presumed fee.
Earlier this week, NSW Premier Chris Minns said: "Clearly it's confusing, that spaghetti junction is difficult to navigate and a lot of cars' GPS haven't caught up.
"We'll change that sign and I understand the Minister for Roads is putting up those portable electronic signs to show people that you can use that road in particular and not pay the toll."
