Not so sure about Canberra but I'm sure the lights sync on Old Windsor Rd could be done better. for the 35km trip to work in the morning the average speed for the trip is about 34km/h fuel consumption in my car is around 16.8-17-3 and the trip takes just over an hour if there hasn't been an accident. When I was working the split shift and travelling late at night and early in the morning (and against the traffic flow) the average speed goes to 54km/h, the fuel consumption goes down to 11.7-12.5 and the trip takes about 1/2 an hour. That is a big difference and the traffic that accumulates on Old Windsor Rd seems to get second treatment to all the roads comming into it. Ie the Norwest intersection during peak hour only lets about 10 cars through at a time some mornings, and the side street doesn't even have cars at the intersection.
I have a theory that the governmet allows this to get us to use more fuel to get more revenue from fuel sales. It's all a conspiracy...
