I thought the corridor was McIntyre road?
McIntyre Road is the corridor / reservation for the northern leg of the Modbury Freeway (MATS Plan).
As was the current OBahn corridor a reserve for the NE Freeway.
Thank God we got the O-bahn and not a freeway.

The kerbing looks to be quite shallow for guide-wheeled operation. Will it be sufficient enough or will the drivers need to navigate the curve manually?

You mean the multiple lots of 4 bolts pointing up?
They are to mount the arch.

Nope it is a guided busway.

Ps shuz is your username setup to try and break websites?
This site should have never allowed those brackets in your username, it is asking to break everything.

As a former driver from about 10 years back, I'm not at all impressed with the shallow grade of the track. Not impressed at all.

Not necessarily, but if you've been reading this forum for a few years you would have been exposed to a lot of evidence that a NE freeway would be a bad result compared to the wide reaching and high capacity PT the OBahn provides.

If all those people who currently use the OBahn were in cars or busses on a freeway and roads there would be a bumper to bumper snarl every peak period.
