On the (Sydney) traffic report this morning:
blah blah blah..."and at Revesby the lights are down on the River Road near Uranus"
I'm like...HUH?! Omg did he really say that? Was that a trick auto-cue?
He said it again in the next traffic report, just before the news.
When I got to work I googled the River Road near Uranus. Sure enough:
there is such a place

Fancy having to tell people your address

Hawk!
I see there are some other roads named after planets in the vicinity.

I suppose if they are not lready stuck in the traffice jam it gives them the chance to take a different route - and cause another jam somewhere else.
