Here's a new game you can play on the freeway – all you need is Cruise Control.

Simply drive onto the freeway of your choice in Perth (outside of peak hours), and if traffic is flowing well then speed up to the sign posted limit, put on the Cruise Control to maintain that speed and drive with awareness.

On any Perth freeway I'll bet you won't go a meagre 30 seconds doing the proper speed limit before you have to tap the brakes – not unless you're driving at 3 o'clock in the morning. And that applies to any lane – from the slow left hand to the cruisy middle to what's supposed to be the overtaking right lane.

The state government – whether headed by the left or right – has spent millions of taxpayer bucks over the years to improve Perth's roads and reduce congestion. New lanes, interchanges, angled on ramps, merging zones etc, etc.
