I witness , nearly accident happen between a car from centre road going to Prince hwy and a car from police road straight to Springvale road. And also nealry happen to me and my husband when we drove from center road. Not long after that i heard in news accident happen and life lost that day. 😢 Its is very complicated intersection specially if the driver not get use to it. Overpass on Prince hwy inbound and outbound will be great idea.

Sharath's video looked into public transport for major shopping malls. But which city provides the better public transport access to major hospitals and universities? Which hospitals or university campuses have the best and worse public transport access in each city? Hospitals are major employers often distant from CBDs that need to be staffed 24 hours a day and accommodate large numbers of patients and visitors. Universities have huge student numbers and require a decent sized workforce. They also accommodate visitors, guest lecturers and research participants. Some hospitals and universities have reasonable public transport access. Others are difficult and parking is a challenge. Interested in thoughts on this and ways this could be improved

I wouldn't say dangerous lol. I've gone down that road for over 20 years to get to work and family. Never seen an accident. It is a clusterf of an intersection but the lights handle the traffic well.

I drive through this intersection twice a day!! I drive from Centre Road through to Police Road in the mornings, and back again in the afternoons I've NEVER seen an accident ... and I am constantly amazed at how quickly I get through it even if I have to stop for an orange/red light!!! Whoever programmed the lights is a genius!!!

Another questions is about what you think of request stopping? What would be your preferred way to implement it and at what places and times should our transit stop on request.

There is a good one in Mildura too ,the round about on 11th Street head down to deakln estate retail with the railway line running through it 🤔 please correct me if I am wrong

Melbourne has better public transport to sporting/entertainment precincts. The MCG can be accessed via 6 direct lines and two stations as well as several tram stops. Sydney olympic park (currently) only has one line from the south and one station. Moore Park on the far east of Sydney only has light rail access.

Best time sitting at the kfc or funeral home and watching the drags pre fast and the furious days as soon as that movie came out skylines and supras literally the next weekend after it’s release loved the v8 muscle cars going past nothing better sounding than a carbi

It’s not that complicated

Fix the road conplexity ❌️ Install cameras instead✅️

First time I drove through here on my Ls I had that big of a mental breakdown I held my horn down like I had some emergency and blew through all the lights lmao

Fascinating subject - professional job well done.

There certainly was older buildings but greedy developers have bulldozed them!

The Federal Coffee Palace WOW what a grand building & to think this was demolished. Surely it could have been repurposed. I love those old grand buildings what a treat it would be to enjoy coffee in that setting today. Even if we wanted to im not sure we could build it as beautifully today! Seems our buildings have lost their granduer & elegance!

Southgate is great place to be, and in my opinion a future classic place. I hope it remains in the current form for many years to come. The sun streams in right into Southgate, and all of the places on the south bank of the Yarra.

I love roundabouts as they are safer because nobody can blow through a roundabout therefore crashes occur at much lower speeds and traffic flow tends to be continuous but negotiating a roundabout is way beyond the skill level of the average Victorian motorist due to the rarity of this kind of intersection with road authorities removing them at a time that many overseas countries are installing roundabouts as they contribute to better fuel efficiency and reduction in serious accidents - bring back roundabouts in Victoria

I always thought of this as a food court rather than a shopping complex and its had a bit of an identity crisis in recent decades, redevelopment in this case will obviously mean a big emphasis on appartments, maybe not such a bad thing in this case.

The Campbellfield site was Ford Australia’s national headquarters NOT just manufacturing! That beautiful American style office building must be preserved .

Congratulations Philip!!❤

I miss Arctic Park as we used to call it because the wind would blast around the stands in Winter. So many weekends were spent there cheering on the mighty Hawks in the 80's and 90's then playing kick to kick in the car park waiting for traffic to leave so we could get out of the car park. I loved that ground so much. Breaks my heart to see all those houses and apartments built around it now. 😢

I used to live on Lebanon Cres growing up, just behind the John Alisson Monkhouse that was on the corner of Police Road and Springvale Road before being demolished, now the site of a set of ugly apartments. Frequently we would hear the crashes on that intersection as kids and run to have a look. As a grown-up I still try and avoid going through it now because l find it so confusing and stressful. Horrible intersection!!!

18:34 pretty sure we have 6. you’re right, they are great trams, but my favourite are the E class, my second favourite are the B like you. nice video.

Noo $ for flyovers 😢

I would absolutely love for you to do a video on Bundoora’s mental health hospital’s Mont Park and Jainefield.

Your drone from McDonnell Park in Fairfield at 12:38 shows the now-demolished old Northcote Aquatic and Recreation Centre!

So manny engeenears, and so many so called design tecnisions, they go to school get a certificate in todays life,got no idea with what’s going on,they can’t even hold a showel or a dig a hall hands in there pockets no everything I’m going to school earn big bucks do nothing🤣🤣🤣🤣

Congratulations Phillip, I’m delighted to see your fascinating Yan Yean production as favourite. It is mine too. There was something special about that journey of discovery with the present overlaid in history. I’m looking forward to seeing in the near future 30,000 subscribers👏

Chrysler was first again.

Great video Philip, I really hope these changes will actually end up implemented when the Metro Tunnel opens. Quick question though - how will routes 5 and 64 get from St Kilda Rd to Clarendon St? Do these plans also include new tracks in the middle of Park St where there currently are none?

I think you mentioned the linking of the tram routes near the Vic market ,,, they apparently only 50 meters apart ,,we live on the 1and 6 route in Brunswick .Be interested in understanding how this would affect the and benefit the system,, apart from us having better access to the other routes.

Congrats on 20K subscribers, and I'm absolutely chuffed that the video I suggested you do (i.e. the Waverley Park one) is one of your two all-time favourites. I feel somehow honoured. By the way, your Yan Yean to Reservoir video is probably my favourite as well. Cheers!

Thanks Philip for providing amazing urban planning content :D

Fantastic and interesting channel. One of my favourites.

Springy Road, Dandy Road, and Centre Road. Pedestrians need a cut lunch to get across. It was the largest intersection in the Southern Hemisphere at one point I believe. Must be worse than ever now with traffic.

Over in Templestowe along Fitzsimons lane Vicroads removed 2 huge roundabouts after years of re engineering and adding traffic lights & methods decided in the end to completely remove the roundabouts and re designed with traffic lights and extra lanes. Widening & removing age old trees some people weren’t happy with the project. Another massive roundabout was removed in mill park /lalor dalton rd and traffic lights installed. Don’t think a roundabout is the answer

That does seem like a mess. classic mistake to think that by making a junction bigger it can handle more but it just means it's red for longer. Use 3D. over and under and maybe not everything needs to join at exactly the same place. 4 lanes might be able to handle more than 6 lanes if there are no traffic lights constantly blocking everything. Roundabouts also works sometimes. I wouldn't be surprised if a simple 2 lane roundabout could handle all that. Quite the simplification

Congratulations Philip … I see you have far more than 20k subscribers already. Really enjoy your videos! 👌

lol fare system ! The vast majority of Victorians do not pay on trams or buses!

Easily one of the most boring places in the city. You can even see how empty it is. Everyone's at QV instead.

Congratulations on your milestone. Uhm.. we might not *need* tram conductors, but i feel we do need at least one staff member on each team. For security at a bare minimum. Radio connect to HQ or police at all times. How many times have unrurly passengers gotten away with reckless abandoned, bc the driver can't see or stop or do anything immediately. Also a member of staff would easily stop fare evasion, that is rampant out there.

Good point about freight. Even bringing back something like the off peak parcels vans would do a lot to alleviate road traffic

Loving the local videos! I got into urban planning last year but only saw videos from the US/Canada (Not Just Bikes, RM Transit, About Here) and so it’s great to find local videos. I like watching Building Beautifully and Transport Vlog too, but it’s really led me to watch lots of smaller local UA-camrs: Taitset, Julian O’Shea (mostly Shorts), MetroManMelbourne, Straya Trains, Qazzy, CityMoose, and specifically for housing in Melbourne I watch PurplePingersTV.

That's so cool that we have the same favourite trams :) With your point about safety on public transport, I see a lot of online discourse that public transport is unsafe, or have friends that will choose to drive or get an Uber instead of the train/tram because of perceived safety risks

I screamed “yes” when you said B2

Two ideas for future investigation, both airport related. 1. The missing rail link to MEL Airport, particularly as there is a rail spur 5km away at Essendon/Airport West. 2. The projected future airport in the South East of Melbourne (eg Cranbourne/Clyde area)

Live in Northcote, N16.....now 3070.

Melbourne has been overrun ethnic ghettos in most suburbs the Anglo culture is getting lost to foreigners non of these people would fight for the country 30 percent foreign born population it’s a joke

I would rather have conductors rather than inspectors. Either way, you have physical staff on the network except one is there to help qnd the other is there to hand out fines.

"what's something that melbourne could learn from transport systems elsewhere in australia?" tressteleg1 says that gold coast trams have priority at intersections. melbourne trams do not.

Pretty sure it goes up behind Zone 20 … long ago I got a V-Line service from Batemans Bay, and the little display near the driver said 28 or 29 (I can check my notes if you’re interested). It was part of a trip I did from Sydney to Melbourne via the coast, but I couldn’t QUITE do it with public transport 100%. Not that Victoria didn’t carry MORE than its fair share here, but there was a gap between Nowra and Batemans Bay. I could have used entirely CountryLink and V-Link if I went via Canberra and Bombala, which is the traditional way to the far south coast of NSW (Eden, Bega, etc). But if I did it again I would look into the regional buses, particularly since Opal made buses a lot easier for anything slightly beyond the inner west or Strathfield haha! (Context: Government bus/train tickets pre-Opal only worked for the bus regions that were historically part of the Sydney tram footprint, give or take). The actual limit of the Opal network is actually something of a mystery, even to a big nerd like me that holds the record for the furthest travelled in one day (for free … but let’s be honest, it’s probably a record for paid, too).
