Aussie drivers poke fun at hilarious sight at T-intersection: ‘Am I allowed to turn right here?’

Australian motorists were left in a state of confusion after a dozen ‘no right turn’ signs were erected at an intersection.

A motorist saw the bizarre scene at the T-junction of McKinley Drive and Grand Boulevard in Mount Atkinson, in Melbourne’s northwest.

They took a photo and shared it on Reddit. The image showed eight signs placed at the location.

The signs were intended to prevent motorists from crossing the lanes of oncoming traffic and driving over the central reservation to turn right.

Tire tracks on the center reservation indicated that drivers had previously used it as a shortcut.

“Can I turn right here?” reads a mocking post on Reddit.

Social media users joked about the traffic measure, which many considered exaggerated.

“I mean, if you weren’t allowed to (turn right) they’d put up a sign or something,” one Reddit user wrote.

“Homer Simpson, safety inspector at work,” replied another.

‘That hint is very subtle.’

‘You would think that after the 7th ‘No right turn’ sign they could have painted a left arrow on the road and a ‘Left turn only’ sign, just to try something different?’ wrote another user.

Some commenters wondered why the original “no right turns allowed” sign was placed in a location where it was difficult to see.

“Did they put all this up because the original was BEHIND that f*cking lamppost?” someone asked.

Another added: ‘Looks like the official sign is the one behind the post so you can’t see the f****** thing. Council mutilation at its finest.’

“I swear I didn’t see the traffic cop. Anyone could have missed it!”

One of them was impressed by its artistic character. He pointed to a plate lying on its side and suggested that it came from the Museum of Old and New Art in Tasmania.

Tire tracks visible on the grass median strip show that drivers used it as a shortcut before the “no right turn” signs were installed.

“These are not traffic rules, I think they are art,” they wrote.

‘Philosophy about the decisions you make in life. I conclude that you can turn right. That sign with a sleeping person is probably from MONA.’

Many responses defended the installation, arguing that the extreme measure was necessary due to poor drivers.

“Makes fun of the reason why they have to do that, surely the drivers there need that level of signage to prevent them from becoming incompetent drivers,” one wrote.

“If you look at Google St View you can see why there are so many signs there… Bogans are going to drive their SUV over the median strip,” replied another.
