There is no "confusion" between Guildford and Midland in signage - look carefully! Also the traffic lights in Mundaring do exist! Northam is long way after that Need to try again!SatuSuro 13:06, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
I went to York and back on 2006-05-28.....and to my surprise there were the traffic lights at Mundaring! I went by the 2003 UBD Street Directory on the subject of the lights. According to it there were no lights there, so I presume that they were put in between 2002 and now. I also made the edit on 2006-05-27, before the trip when I discovered there were actually lights.--M Johnson (talk • contribs) 07:56, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
You dont have it that bad, there are people who have never been to Indonesia or Java doing work on the Merapi and Earthquake articles, it is disturbing to say the least when they use search engines to determine "local knowledge" - at least you could drive through the lights. Also, current road maps are the only ones ever worth using, and I could drag you through innacuracies in them even - the map makers no longer spend the money on sending out people to check things aerial/satelite photography caannot always pick up!SatuSuro 12:12, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
I do live in Perth. I also live in the hills region, so I know about Great Eastern Highway. And the lights subject was only a mistake.--M Johnson (talk • contribs) 00:15, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Re-reading this art the '"value for money" sentence could be seen to be rubbish for anyone who regularly uses the hill - wide loads holding up kms of traffic almost daily, and the legendary double trucks more or less closing the left lane on a twisting turning descent at peak traffic time: if there are alternative plans for the hill, a ref or link is needed!

The entry about the arrester bed failed to mention the one that was removed eariler, also there is no evidence that the arrester bed has been used since it's placement. Other than by joyriders in stolen cars. The Mundairng traffic light where set up in 2004.(unsigned comment)
There have been heavy vehicles towed out of the arrester bed within the last two years - all the stolen cars get abandoned on the uphill side of the highway -approximately 2 a month at this stage (the descent side has had no abandoned or stolen cars in 4 years at least) - SatuSuro 15:58, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
