Adelaide's Southern Expressway is 21 km long, and according to Wikipedia is the World's longest reversible freeway. It was built to relieve the peak hour traffic congestion on the main South Road. On weekdays traffic flow is towards Adelaide in the mornings and away from Adelaide in the afternoons. On weekends traffic flow is in the opposite direction.Recently there has been much lobbying for the duplication of the freeway, to enable better access to the southern suburbs in both directions at all times.
A veloway runs alongside the freeway, and unlike driving on the freeway you can ride in both directions at all times!

We have something like this in Chicago on the Kennedy Expressway. The "express" lanes change directions...in in the mornings and out in the evenings. I like your choice today! And isn't it amazing what we notice now that we are blogging?
We have one lane here on the local interstate that reverses.
Very nice photos. Thanks for explaining the road system there.
That is amazing. I have a road photo from Victoria. Will tell hubby about your road at lunchtime.

We have no motorways on my island. Herad about the reversable, never seen one. Ineresting r.
Great shots and nice explanation of the road system in Adelaide.
Well done "R".
We have had a couple of three lane roads were the middle one were reversible, but luckily they have been rebuilt. Much too dangerous and can only be regarded as temporary solutions.
Great choice for ABCW!

Wonderful R-shots! Well done:)
Nobody gets confused? I am always confused about what day it is, so this may not be a good idea for me. I've never heard of doing this!
