Located in Mooroolbark is one of the city's oddest intersections between Hull Rd, Lincoln Rd, Manchester Rd and Cambridge Rd: three consecutive roundabouts. Initially, the three latter streets simply connected to Hull Rd at close but slightly different locations. In order to eliminate the troubles caused by failing to give way to vehicles coming from other adjoining streets, it was decided to build individual roundabouts at each intersection, and simply employing the standard give way rules. This has largely cleared up most of the troubles at Hull Rd, but the prospect of passing through the intersection for those who don't know it is a little daunting. It's generally fairly safe, but indicators are far less trustworthy.
