On Thursday, 17th October, 2024, there was a head-on motor vehicle accident on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, in which two people were killed.
Traffic flow arrangements are in place for the eight lanes of traffic on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, whereby a majority of lanes are dedicated to motor vehicles travelling into the Sydney CBD in the morning and a majority of lanes are dedicated to motor vehicles travelling away from the Sydney CBD in the afternoon.
Non-white immigration into Australia has caused the size of the population of Australia to increase, which has caused the size of the population of Sydney to increase, which has caused the volume of traffic on the Sydney Harbour Bridge to increase.
Over the past two decades alone since 2004, the size of the population of Australia has increased by more than 4 million (i.e. more than 20%) as a result of immigration into Australia, which has mostly been non-white immigration into Australia.
So large is the volume of traffic currently on the Sydney Harbour Bridge that has resulted from non-white immigration into Australia that it is not possible to install a zipper barrier on the Sydney Harbour Bridge between the two adjacent lanes on the Sydney Harbour Bridge containing motor vehicles travelling in opposite directions, in order to both accommodate the traffic flow arrangements that are in place on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and eliminate the possiblity of head-on collisions between motor vehicles in the two adjacent lanes on the Sydney Harbour Bridge containing motor vehicles travelling in opposite directions, so that the number of people who die or are injured as a result of travelling across the Sydney Harbour Bridge decreases, because that would require reducing the number of lanes on the Sydney Harbour Bridge from eight lanes to seven lanes, which is not enough lanes to handle the large volume of traffic currently on the Sydney Harbour Bridge that has resulted from non-white immigration into Australia.

SkyNews.com.au reached out to NSW Roads Minister John Graham to ask if the government would consider looking into movable barriers on the Harbour Bridge.
A Transport for NSW spokesperson said a police investigation into Thursday’s double-fatal crash was ongoing and it would consider adopting findings that come out from it.
They also flagged the bridge is “not wide enough” to fit the technology and to retain all its eight lanes “in what is Sydney’s most important traffic route”.
The department insisted it had considered using a zipper machine after a serious crash in 2015, but found one lane on the iconic landmark would have to be removed, which would lead to a 15 per cent reduction of traffic capacity.
“The Sydney Harbour Bridge has daily traffic volumes of around 160,000 and delays on that roadway can flow on to the entire system, as was experienced on Thursday,” the spokesperson said.

Therefore, non-white immigration into Australia is responsible for the lack of a barrier on the Sydney Harbour Bridge between the two adjacent lanes on the Sydney Harbour Bridge containing motor vehicles travelling in opposite directions, which would have prevented the recent head-on motor vehicle accident on the Sydney Harbour Bridge from occurring, so that, objectively, the recent head-on motor vehicle accident on the Sydney Harbour Bridge was the result of non-white immigration into Australia.
Since it is not possible to install a barrier on the Sydney Harbour Bridge between the two adjacent lanes on the Sydney Harbour Bridge containing motor vehicles travelling in opposite directions, the speed limit on the Sydney Harbour Bridge should be reduced from 70 kilometres per hour to 50 kilometres per hour with very strict enforcement, in order to prevent drivers from exceeding this speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour on the Sydney Harbour Bridge by more than 10%, in order to improve the safety of people travelling across the Sydney Harbour Bridge by motor vehicle, by causing the incidence of motor vehicle accidents on the Sydney Harbour Bridge to decrease, on account of this lower speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, in the context of the large number of lanes on the Sydney Harbour Bridge (being eight lanes on the Sydney Harbour Bridge), the corresponding complexity of traffic movement on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the severe disruption caused by motor vehicle accidents on the Sydney Harbour Bridge to traffic surrounding the Sydney CBD, near and far.
The extra circa 24 seconds that would be spent by each person travelling across the Sydney Harbour Bridge by motor vehicle, at a speed of circa 50 kilometres per hour as opposed to circa 70 kilometres per hour, could be spent pondering the white Australian citizens who built the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the exemplary job they did building the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

Extra travel time = [ (1,149 metres / 50,000 metres) – (1,149 metres / 70,000 metres) ] x 1 hour x 60 minutes / hour x 60 seconds / minute = 23.6 seconds (1 decimal place)
Ban non-white immigration into Australia.
Limit white immigration into Australia during any given financial year to 0.1% of the number of Australian citizens living in Australia at the start of that financial year, so that white immigration into Australia will never exceed circa 25,000 white people during any financial year (since the size of the population of Australia is currently circa 27 million and since there are currently at least circa 2 million non-white non-citizens of Australia living in Australia, so that the number of Australian citizens living in Australia is currently a maximum of circa 25 million).
Deport non-white non-citizens of Australia (with the exception of genuine refugees, on compassionate grounds) back to their countries of origin.
In conjunction with people leaving Australia voluntarily for various reasons, the three preceding measures will cause the size of the population of Australia to decrease by circa one-eighth (i.e. circa 3.4 million) within five years, as well as the size of the population of Sydney to consequently decrease by circa one-eighth within five years.
With the volume of traffic on the Sydney Harbour Bridge similarly decreasing by circa one-eighth within five years, this will enable the New South Wales State Government to abolish one of the eight lanes on the Sydney Harbour Bridge (so that there will be seven lanes on the Sydney Harbour Bridge), while maintaining the traffic flow arrangements that are in place on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, whereby a majority of lanes are dedicated to motor vehicles travelling into the Sydney CBD in the morning and a majority of lanes are dedicated to motor vehicles travelling away from the Sydney CBD in the afternoon.
It will then be possible for the New South Wales State Government to install a zipper barrier on the Sydney Harbour Bridge between the two adjacent lanes on the Sydney Harbour Bridge containing motor vehicles travelling in opposite directions, in order to both accommodate the traffic flow arrangements that are in place on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and eliminate the possiblity of head-on collisions between motor vehicles in the two adjacent lanes on the Sydney Harbour Bridge containing motor vehicles travelling in opposite directions, so that the number of people who die or are injured as a result of travelling across the Sydney Harbour Bridge decreases.
The speed limit on the Sydney Harbour Bridge should be kept at 50 kilometres per hour with very strict enforcement, in order to prevent drivers from exceeding this speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour on the Sydney Harbour Bridge by more than 10%, in order to maintain the ongoing safety of people travelling across the Sydney Harbour Bridge by motor vehicle, by causing the incidence of motor vehicle accidents on the Sydney Harbour Bridge to remain low, on account of this low speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, in the context of the large number of lanes on the Sydney Harbour Bridge (being seven lanes on the Sydney Harbour Bridge), the corresponding complexity of traffic movement on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the severe disruption caused by motor vehicle accidents on the Sydney Harbour Bridge to traffic surrounding the Sydney CBD, near and far.
Postscript:
Obviously it is of enormous concern that the New South Wales Government still charges drivers tolls to cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge, since the cost of construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge was repaid via tolls charged to drivers to cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge decades ago.
All roads in Australia should be publicly owned.
If the cost of building roads in Australia cannot be funded via taxation revenue (due to insufficient taxation revenue), a publicly owned “Australian Bank” should lend the money required to build the roads, so that the cost of construction of these roads, being the money lent by the Australian Bank, should be repaid via tolls charged to drivers using these roads.
Once the cost of construction of roads in Australia that cannot be funded via taxation revenue has been repaid via tolls charged to drivers using these roads, tolls should no longer be charged for their use.
The cost of maintenance of roads in Australia, including the Sydney Harbour Bridge, should be funded via taxation revenue.
