Sydney is just out of hand with how busy it is. I'd forgotten how difficult it is for motorists, but this series was a good reminder for me. Nevertheless, the city is nice to photograph.

Tell me about it; with all the bus lanes, one way streets, traffic and difficulty finding parking etc etc, I avoided driving into the city if I could help it back when I was living in Sydney (which I was only up until 3 weeks ago). Third photo captures it well

It was crawling Dave - I needed a long (20-30 sec) exposure just to depict some dynamics to the scene.

Great set, and the green streak in #2 is a nice addition.

@Ash
Yes the espressway shots do a great job at depicting how crazy it gets here sometimes.
I like the section of road youve chosen with the gentle S -curve very pleasing to view (unless you're in there)

@baro-nite
The green streak would actually be the backlit display on the front of the city buses. (Its not a low flying Martian or anything like that )
Looks pretty cool in the shot though.

Traffic in Sydney can be pretty stressful...saw a guy honking at a red light last time I was there. Really like the Portrait of motorway and the deutschbank entrance.
