Re: [TramsDownUnder] Happy New Year from Hookturnistan

In preparing today's new video, I was surprised to see that in William St the advance right hand lane arrow goes straight ahead, while the left lane arrow points both left and right.

While logical if you know what Hook turns are, it must be more than baffling for visitors driving down this street. I suppose those lane markings are used elsewhere but I never noticed before. You will clearly see these towards the end of the video.
