The section of Coppins Crossing Road between the 2 sections of John Gorton Drive seems eligible.
So, Coppins Crossing Dr, route 47

[narc855]

It's a road, not drive.

A temporary one, Well Station Drive

It's a road, not drive.

Yeah yeah, another typo. I know I am irritatingly good at that - some call them 'seniors moments'. I notice you didn't correct 'Victory' or 'Coppings' (Game 1) which were not in my posts.....

Wakefield Avenue

[triumph]

Cooinda St, Bruce

[Sylvan Loves Buses]

Statton Street, Gowrie

[Barry Drive]

Just to get it out of the way:

Edgeworth Parade (Coombs).

Hopefully there are no more of these type of streets.

[Sylvan Loves Buses]

Given the way Canberra streets are designed and how I found one in Forrest, I'm sure there's plenty of others that have been created before Coombs.

[vnguyen]

Furneuax St, Griffith/Manuka

[Sylvan Loves Buses]

Donaldson Street, Braddon.

Prefer to wait for 2 others before posting again, hence why I didn't make one before.
Can we get a list yet please?

❌ Stop 0300 is serviced by 53 towards Dickson.

Penalty: wait for two valid answers

That's why this game is more difficult...

Can you elaborate on what the type is that it is hoped there are no more of.
Canberra has quite a few peculiarities such as streets that meet another street twice (common, and a pain in the neck when defining an intersection/junction for a feed back or accident report, etc) and even streets that intersect/junction with themselves. But I didn't see anything odd on the map about Edgeworth Pde..
There are also some rather unusual descriptors eg Scotts Crossing in the City. Crossing what??

[triumph]

Norse Rd (QCity route just inside ACT)

[narc855]

Allawoona Street (University of Canberra)

[vnguyen]

Mustang Avenue, Canberra Airport

Lathlain St, Belconnen

[narc855]

Get rid of this controversial one.
Joynton Smith Drive, Belconnen

❌ unless I'm missing something: that's a no

Penalty: wait two valid answers

[narc855]

Okay I was cheated by Anytrip...

I can't insert a photo but the Cohen Street between Lathlain St and Benjamin Way shows Joynton Smith Drive on Anytrip.
(not the orginal controversial point I think, actually thinks about Belconnen Community Station but anyway)

Anytrip must be years and years out of date. If I recall correctly Joynton Smith it was before the Mall was extended and the Westfield Stop developed as part of the Mall works. Relying on a single non-official site like Anytrip, and even Google or Wikipedia, without corroboration is always a risk. Though both Google and Wikipedia are a good bit more reliable than some others. These games have exposed shortcomings though across the board, even in some official sites.

Are you sure about that one? If you have a look at the street signs it seems to indicate Edgeworth Pde starts from the western side of Fred Daly, whereas the street sign for Annabelle view continues through the eastern side of Fred Daly. I can see that Google maps says the median between Fred Daly is Edgeworth, but I think that's not quite accurate.

Ffs, that's the last time I use Google maps for this stuff. Having bus stops appear at different zoom levels is stupid.

Joynton Smith Drive, Belconnen... shows Joynton Smith Drive on Anytrip

It shows the stops that were used back when the 41 or whichever it was use to run Emu Bank alongthe the foreshore. It'll only show them as blue squares now and outlined buses when zoomed right in. It certainly isn't correct for usage at the moment (unless there's a detour I'm unaware of).

That's why this game is more difficult...

For a time it was fun, but now it is yeah. Time to start checking timetables I thnk.

Dugong Way, Throsby.

[Barry Drive]

It is. I actually checked this before posting.

There are also some rather unusual descriptors eg Scotts Crossing in the City. Crossing what??

Lennox Crossing was a crossing of Molonglo River from the hospital to Commonwealth Avenue - it still exists but only as far as the National Museum.

Nothing remains of the original Scotts Crossing - it crossed the river and ran from the bottom of Anzac Parade to King Edward Terrace near what is now NGA. Scotts Crossing in the City is named to commemorate this road.

Anyway, back on topic: Flynn Place
