Truck driver decides to change lanes into me at Barangaroo

26 Nov, 2018 - 7 years ago - on Hickson Road

I sent this video to the project manager of the Barangaroo metro, since the truck pulled into that work site. They responded that they had spoken to the trucking company and the driver and they had amended the instructions for drivers heading to the work site - drivers now have to get into the left lane further back to avoid having to make dangerous lane changes like this. They were also very unhappy with drivers speeding or driving aggressively along this section of road, which is restricted to 40km/h. All up, it was a good result. No one got hurt, and the lessons were applied by both the site safety team and the contractor.
