dan_the_man Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Does anyone actually use these? There is only really a few main ways to get into perth. If they say the narrows is jammed... do people really go another way? Who would really try and take back roads with and risk speeding in school zones every 2 mins?

_8OO5TED_ Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 (edited) i hear the same crap every morning..... the kwinana is busy from canning hwy and the mitchell is busy from scarborough bch rd..... those stupid reporters need to get some new material, maybe report on some new roads rather than repeating the same sh*t every morning!

mitchy_ Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 i hear it while im at work if the same roads are busy... wouldnt that mean everyone is taking the same route, and not listening to the reports? regardless of which route you take, the quicker route is usually busy, and the longer route is slower...

Topaz Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 "The Mitchell Freeway heavy, Hutton Street to Scaborough Beach Road" I hear that every morning, I don't think they even do a check, they just say it. I leave for work at the same time every day and its different all the time....

tigeryas Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 me and my mate are constantly trying to find quicker ways to get to uni in peak traffic. We live close too (North Perth) so its kind of like a challenge to see who gets the quickest route, regardless of distance, to uni at say, just before 9am Cos the mounts bay rd off-ramp coming from north is a b!tch and all but regarding the radio... i dont listen to the radio. period.

StuiE Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I listen to triplej, so I dont' get traffic reports however when I'm in workmates cars (carpool ftw) and at work I hear them, only any good if there has been a big accident, or like when that guy jumped off the Hutton st bridge about a year ago (didn't he know how much inconvenience it would cause? ) They are mainly there for advertising, after saing how the roads are there is always an ad for something that the reporter announces, sounds really cheesy, too, they spend more time speaking out the ad that the actual traffic report.

Powers Lacking Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I catch a train to work so dont have to worry about it lol. When i started my job had the choice between my own parking bay or unlimited multi-riders. So much more convenient to catch the train Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/141277-traffic-updates-on-the-radio/#findComment-2641351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PobodY Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 It's always the same lines too - "Kwiniana is busy in the usual spots, Mitchel is busy from Hepburn Ave to Vincent St". It would be better so say "Kwinana is still clear at the moment, and Waneroo is busier than Mitchel..." or something like that - take it for granted that we know where it'll be busy allready. I'm always driving accross or against the flow, so I laugh at them each day... well not maliciously, but smugly anyway. Up marmion, along Whitfords (actually that can get busy until after the freeway), then up Waneroo... past Prindaville Drv (coz everyone else turns there), and up Buckingham. I don't even listen to the radio anymore - just put a CD on...
