What is with it? Please explain!!

I see the signs, I hear people talk about it but really, it’s weird?
Apparently it’s a very smart idea and useful as it helps guide traffic. They can only be found within the city of Melbourne and have to do with controlling traffic around the Trams.

There are special traffic lights and signage for them and apparently you just follow the instructions….
Whatever! I’m not driving in the city… Public transport is great so I’ll roll with that HAHA
Share with me your experiences of hook turns. Or are you as lost as I am?
