Drove my car through the Clem7 tunnel tonight for a couple of hours.
I drove every single ramp (and some of them twice )! Around midnight it was full of sightsee-ers puttering along at 50 km/h. That is what is going to cause accidents It will be really interesting tomorrow, during the commute

UPDATE: After about 6 runs through the tunnels its bloody awesome and yes all the idiots doing 50 in the 80 zone will be a potential hazard Most interesting entrance is from shafston avenue, i can see a few bingles round that loop BE WARNED, there are speed cameras all over the place Last edited by outbakoz; 16-03-2010 at 03:03 AM.

Currently free and the toll will progressively be introduced over the next few months.
There are four speed cameras in each direction. Don't bother looking for them, they look like everything other black box on the ceiling. They can move around within the tunnel and there is no signage as to their exact location - only signage is at each of the portal/ramp entrances.

Hmmm does that mean they're tolling on Easter Monday or does it start the 6th?

Not on your life for what those tires cost from what ive been told, they would chop mah left testie off.
bad enough i "drift" the Triton any chance i get. Skinny wheels + heaps of torque + any dirt or rain = ^_^ annoyingly hard to start on purpose, bastard only slips when your actually trying to get into traffic or some such.
