      Hey there, sounds like you’ve never driven a car before. No shame! I’m more than happy to clear up any confusion.

      Typically, roads with a single lane in each direction are not elevated off the ground. Meaning there is a location known as the “side of the road” where people are able to pull off if they have car trouble or are impeding a huge line of traffic. Unfortunately, this “side of the road” i mentioned previously is typically dirt, meaning that it’s very dangerous to pass from. In many regions where common courtesy exists, pulling over to the side of the road (refer to previous sentences if still unsure) is very much appreciated.

      Hopefully this helps! If you’re still feeling a little slack jawed about the whole thing, feel free to let me know :)

        Or it’s a ditch you can get a car in to but not out of without employing a tow truck. This is the most common situation in single lane roads that don’t have any alternative water management features. But you’d know that if you ever touched grass in your life.

        Also go fuck yourself. Blocked.

      There are plenty of stopping bays and rest areas, but no overtaking lanes. Rural Aus roads are SO GOOD, but it’s where the caravans congregate every single day.
