      ​@John.Christopher you think anybody is cycling 500 miles anywhere in Australia? 😩

    We just call it "Crossing the Nullabor"
    I have never head someone call the highway by its official name.

    Imagine only being allowed to do 70mph/110kmh 💀 This should be one big fat limitless German Autobahn 🇩🇪🛣️

      And hitting them with 110 km/h saves everybody?
      Also, wildlife crossings 🤷‍♂️

      @@JDYTC It won't save the kangaroo but it might save the people in the car. I don't think you understand how much more damage hitting a large kangaroo at 300hm/h is.
      You really think there are wildlife crossings on these roads and that the animals understand what they are? Bro...

      @@Zinteus That’s false. I _do_ understand. Even on the German Autobahn barely anybody ever reaches 300 km/h. 150 - 200 is speeds I am talking about. Perhaps I do not fully understand how Australia is. However, wildlife crossings, underpass tunnels, wildlife tunnels, viaducts and overpasses are not limited to Europe only. And “animals understand what they are” because they do not have another possibility/choice-gates (natural or artificial) will direct them. No matter how big, you can gate a wildlife community. Just a matter of choosing where and how your local Big Brother wants to spend their extorted and confiscated tax dollars 🤷‍♂️ If you look up “wildlife crossing” on Wikipedia, the main picture is of one in Israel. The second one is of an underpass in Florida, USA. Third pic is of one in Kuwait. So no, no country is too big for wildlife crossings 🤷‍♂️ Regardless, Big Brother prohibiting people to drive faster than 110 km/h (i.e. 20% slower than in Europe!) in one of the biggest and most desolated countries om the planet is effing insane in my opinion. If I want to take the risk of dying by hitting a kangaroo that’s on me 🤷‍♂️ That’s the whole point of freedom: it comes with responsibility 🤷‍♂️

      @JDYTC ruclips.net/video/ZzaIfH0DYCI/видео.htmlsi=o_QLEEpd_txxEKQV here's one of the many examples you can find on RUclips and this one is during the day. It's much worse at night because the roads are pitch black and even with high beams, you don't see them until you're metres away. The amount of money it would take to build a border on each side of the road would probably be close to if not more than 1 billion dollars

    Fun fact: although Nullarbor sounds like an indigenous name, it’s actually Latin - 'Null arbor' means 'no trees'…
