Thanks for that. I must say that I can sympathise with delivery drivers. They have to get stock to the shops along the way somehow. Even doing the required U-turn may not be an easy manoeuvre for larger vehicles. A hook turn right into Burke Street would still probably be the best option even though it will put vans through the tram stop which is not much different from what happens in Bridge Road and Victoria Street.
Nevertheless if nobody ever confronts the truck drivers, they will continue to do what we see in this video.
