I'll second that!
 
The northern end of Parker Street should have been made into a cul-de-sac.  Instead traffic turns left (left turn only) into Hay Street then miss or ignore the sign that says all traffic is turn left into Parker Lane.  Often there are cars buggering up the intersection with George Street as they are not given a traffic light sequence and SLR gets blamed for a slow service.

Even in the 1960s and into the 1970s (?) it would have been hairy travelling west to east in Holden Street. Cornwall Street in Brisbane was similar. But both were not used in regular service. Both could not have survived into the 2010s?
