Lost

No matter how hard I tried over the weekend I just couldn't get away to the Ruddstock Festival in Canberra. So instead I canvassed numerous drivers at work on a Big Idea...

It should be mandatory that all residential and commercial premises display clear, reflective and eye-level steet numbering.

There was also general consensus that this be included as a Cabbie Clause in the proposed Bill of Rights.

Thank you.

I propose a think tank weekend for all drivers, held in the
Whitsundays, payed for by owners and operators, accommodation [5 star, of cause!] supplied by the Taxi council, Interpreter service included, in order to drum out some Idea's on how to bring the Industry into the 21st century. And let us follow the governments smart move and do a "Devine", and invite Andrew Bolt to party with us for some positive reviews.
All joke's aside, good on the Ruddbot, at least he is trying to do something positive and I can't knock them for that.

You would think the public safety services would also be demanding this also.

I thoroughly endorse that idea, which would be helpful even in country regions.

We get calls often in the downtown shopping for something like "93 Liebig St', which would be about the equivalent of George St Sydney or Swanston St Melbourne.

Our radio/phone base, unfortunately at Ballarat, could help matters if they insisted on the name of the shop or business AND the street number, or the nearest intersection.

Cruising along the highway trying to find a number is only for those with a suicide wish. Mind you, it has been improved marginally by the installation of a wide cycle lane near the kerb. But it would help if all had numbers clearly displayed.
