Exactly, putting it on a quite frequently congested arterial road is a WOFTAM and an unnecassary increase in risk to the motoring public.
A better idea would be to instal them at intersections on Leach/Roe/Tonkin etc where they have the flashing yellow lights telling people the lights are about to change. Mainly these lights are installed for the trucks that use the roads but (I'm guilty too...) how oftenb do you see people drop a gear when the lioghts start to flash? Imagine the revenue there....
Of course a better idea would be to build flyovers and build some on/off ramps but who gives a shit about traffic flow in sleepy ol' Perth
