Traffic chaos as huge crane tips
A major North Sydney road has been completely shut down, sparking traffic chaos, amid fears a massive crane could tip over.
Pennant Hills Rd has become blocked between Marsden and Jenkins Rds after a crane broke off its mounting support over the major arterial Sydney road on Wednesday afternoon.
Images of the crane show its top half – or its 'arm' – hanging horizontally alongside other cranes which have theirs pointed upwards.
NSW Police confirmed the blockage was 'due to a hazard' in a statement.
'Local diversions are in place. Motorists should follow directions of police and traffic crews on site. Motorists should also allow extra travel time,' a spokesman said.
'Local buses are also diverting away from Pennant Hills Road, missing several stops,' he said.
'Some buses may also be delayed.'
More to come.

Council removes bizarre roundabout after backlash from drivers in 'disgraceful saga'
An unconventional and much talked about road feature has disappeared overnight just days after it made headlines around the country for its very peculiar, and seemingly ineffective, design. A diamond-shaped roundabout was recently rolled out in Sydney's southwest – much to the total bemusement of drivers in the Liverpool Council area. Fifteenth Avenue, set to become a key arterial route to the new Western Sydney Airport, has recently seen a flurry of roadworks, with three new roundabouts installed in quick succession. Roundabouts have been added at 22nd Avenue, Craik Avenue, and the now-infamous – and short lived – diamond-shaped roundabout at 28th Avenue. Footage captured by Yahoo on Friday at the unusual roundabout showed a number of drivers ignoring the painted lines and driving straight through the road feature. However on Friday night, council workers quietly removed it all together. "There is no roundabout, it's gone," a council spokesperson told Yahoo News on Saturday. "We listened to our residents. It was a design that didn't work. "There were lots of complaints about it, so the simplest thing to do was to get rid of it." Photos from the scene on Saturday show black paint over the previous diamond shape and a previous sign has been removed, and replaced with a regular Giveway sign. "There was actually a mound in the middle of the intersection, so it was pulled up and the intersection has been repainted with slightly different line markings to the previous one. "It's going back to the intersection that it was, and we've also put some improved line markings to make it a bit simpler and easier," the spokesperson said. Local MP Nathan Hagarty was also on the scene on Saturday to mark the occasion. "Cars are still stopping, they're not sure what to do," he said in a video posted to constituents on social media. "But as far as I'm concerned, this is not the end of this disgraceful saga. I have had a look at the original designs and what I can say is that the design that I saw do not match what was delivered, so I think some serious questions need to be asked to Liverpool Council and the contractors... how much money has been wasted?" he said. Related: Major road rule changes coming into effect on July 1 across Australia For it's part, the Liverpool Council says the state government needs to upgrade the road to make it fit for purpose to handle the amount of traffic it receives. "It's always been an awkward intersection … we've been waiting years for that road to be upgraded – it's a major thoroughfare. It's going to be the major link into the Western Sydney International Airport and it's not going to be ready in time," the council spokesperson told Yahoo. "It hasn't been done properly and there's more pain to come unfortunately until that road is upgraded." Do you have a story tip?

Millions of drivers warned over two week 'cold snap' blitz as fines jump to $1250
Millions of motorists are being warned to stick to the road rules as families head out to enjoy the school holidays and authorities seek to crack down on dangerous and tired driving. Queensland police are warning they'll be out in force for the next two weeks in a "highly visible and proactive" operation dubbed X-Ray Cold Snap. The statewide road safety campaign will run until Sunday 13 July when the school holidays comes to an end in the state with police particularly keen to ensure drivers embarking on long trips take precautions. "Fatigue is a really considerable factor across holiday periods, usually where families travel long distances across unusual roadways and destinations," Acting Chief Superintendent Garrath Channells said. "The state of Queensland is obviously quite large, and you can travel for extended periods of time. I would just ask anyone that is traveling long distance, particularly on unusual roadways, to drive to the conditions always and take time to stop and rest if you're exceeding two hours of driving, so that you're managing fatigue, and if possible, swap drivers and share the load." So far this year, there has been 136 road fatalities on the state's roads, that's 7.8 per cent higher than the previous five-year average for the same period. "And we've had thousands of serious injuries that could be lifelong, traumatic events like a spinal cord injury that that person then has to live with for the rest of their lives, and the family have to provide support for the rest of that time," Superintendent Channells said. "Poor decision making in a split second can have tragic and traumatic outcomes." Drivers warned of road rule change with $961 fines just days away Controversial road rule change to impact a million Aussies from July Drivers erupt at council's 'embarrassing' new roundabout The winter school holidays are traditionally one of the busiest periods on Queensland roads with police ramping up their presence from today. The blitz will also coincide with a planned jump in the price of fines for drivers caught doing the wrong thing. From Tuesday, July 1, motorists caught using their phone behind the wheel or not wearing a seatbelt will cop a whopping $1,250 fine. A similarly expensive hit to the hip pocket will come for drivers exceeding the speed limit by 30km/h. The fine hikes are the result of a scheduled increase in the value of a penalty unit. While Queensland has by far the toughest financial penalties for drivers, other states also enforce yearly increases in the cost of road fines. The situation in Queensland reflects a larger, alarming trend. Last year, 1,300 people died on Australian roads — the highest toll since 2012. It's part of a four-year rise in deaths not seen since before seatbelts became mandatory in the 1960s. The final three months of 2024 alone saw 359 lives lost — the deadliest quarter in more than a decade. Road safety advocate Peter Frazer OAM, whose daughter was killed by a distracted driver, said the problem goes beyond driver error and argues we have a cultural issue when it comes to not taking road safety seriously enough. "The very first thing that we need to do is to flip everything on its head and start dealing with the reality of risk on our roads," he told Yahoo News Australia recently. "We've got to have our governments start doing much more active enforcement, both police enforcement and also automated enforcement, which we can do immediately." Do you have a story tip?

Drivers erupt at council's 'dangerous' new roundabout in busy suburb
Questions are mounting about how a bizarre diamond-shaped roundabout got approved in a dense suburban area, with one local councillor admitting he's as confused as residents, branding the strange new addition to the road "embarrassing". Utterly baffled motorists are mystified over how to use it, with many opting to ignore it and drive straight over. Footage captured by Yahoo News Australia on Friday at the new Austral "intersection", in Sydney's southwest, shows several motorists driving right through the diamond-shaped roundabout, including a large truck and several SUVs. "It's f**king sh*t," a local told Yahoo News. "I can't even turn onto my street because of the shape of the roundabout." The man said that if he followed the road, he wouldn't be able to make it all the way around without either hitting another car or the pole on the side of the road. "Because it's shaped like that, by the time I do swing it back around, I would hit those cars waiting there or the pole, so it makes it dangerous," he said. "Getting around Sydney itself is already sh*t and then they add that little puzzle to the mix." Vision appears to suggest there was ample space for a standard circular roundabout, with the diamond design seemingly chosen due to the angled layout of Twenty Eighth Avenue. Yahoo News has sought an explanation from Liverpool City Council on the new roundabout. There are no visible signs directing road users how to properly use the diamond. Councillor Peter Ristevski has now called for an urgent investigation into why the diamond shape got approved in the first place. "My inbox last night was bombarded with over 300 responses asking, 'what is going on? You guys can't even build a roundabout'," Ristevski told Today. "They've pretty much lost confidence in the council, which is very concerning at the moment." Drivers reminded of road rule being ignored on roundabouts Controversial road rule change set to impact over a million Aussies from July Millions of Aussie drivers warned of road rule change with $961 fines Ristevski pointed to external contractors, and said he wasn't aware of the price tag of the roundabout. "It's quite embarrassing," he said. "I'm in Canberra for the Australian Local Government Conference, where I've had every single councillor here in Australia rip into me about this roundabout." Seven News reports Liverpool Council has acknowledged the confusing layout and is attempting to redesign it circularly. Do you have a story tip?
