You get used to them. I cross just after a roundabout every day. my only issue with them is the people who don't indicate, which might mean I miss a chance to cross.

Only time I was ever involved in a traffic "collision" was when I was knocked down on a zebra crossing. Foreign driver, no driving license, no road tax, no insurance. Hitting me was dropped from the list because the other penalties carried a higher premium. Must have shit him up big time though - he was flagged down less than 50 yards away by people coming out of the station who had seen what happened. He only caught me a glancing blow but it probably lived longer in his head than mine.

ETA - thanks Chris - a wonderful post about Oz.
Photos please!!
