Melbourne has two dumb traffic laws.
1. turn left on red
2. turn right from left lane. although this is being phased out i believe.

We drive on the correct (left) side of the road so turn left on red is possible. Due to the trams in the middle of many roads in Melbourne you must get into the left lane so you don't clog up the tramway. Many situations that let you do this now have signs saying you cant.

It is a silly place
