I don't think it'll have much impact on cyclists, those that know to g
to the right of right turning cars. I can't see hook turns being kep
for long though, about the only place I can think of where a straigh
ahead lane magically turns in to a hook turn lane

The main win is the junction of Park Street and Clarendon Street. Th
tram superstops made that all but impassible for roadies, especially i
the wet

It'll be nice to start the day with a meander through Albert Park agai

Whatever they do Moray St is still a much better run to the city. Jus
take the lane through the roundabouts

My destination's the World Trade centre which makes Clarendon Street a
better route for me.

recently got an email from Bicycle Victoria confirming that the tra
stops were going to be removed, fantastic and hopefully Clarendon S
will revert back to its vibrant safe self.... looking forward to it,
think the hook turns will be fine, but I think they will go as wel
eventually
