The Hume Freeway is mostly 840km of straight sailing between Sydney and Melbourne. After the Hookistan Secession[citation needed] a checkpoint was added where the freeway crosses the Murray River. A 2400m long endless loop of light rail shares the southbound lanes with up to eight heavily armed and armoured autonomous trams continuously circling the loop. Traffic leaving New South Wales must complete two right turns across the tram lines without tram-involved incident in order to successfully negotiate the border interchange. Northbound traffic is unimpeded, though there is a spectators’ lookout that is a popular rest-and-charging stop, also home of the famous Last Good Coffee van.#Tootfic #MicroFiction #PowerOnStoryToot

@Unixbigot With the introduction of the Smooth Roads Initiative, residents from Sydney have been making pilgrimages from their inner-suburban enclaves to the Victorian Border Freeways, so they and their progeny may experience a pothole free trip in their Land Rover Survivals (incidentally, not great at hook-turns and new models coming in 2083!). #Tootfic

@unixben Having been part of 12+ accidents caused by a single pothole on SH2 my humour has lost a wheel. My car lost 2, but fortunately the passengers and myself were unharmed. Shaken and pissed off but unharmed was a good outcome relatively. @Unixbigot
