traffic woes

Today I was going to go buy some stuff with my Dad. When we were trying to get on to Stud Rd there was too much south-bound traffic, so I decided to turn left with the intention of making a U-turn at the freeway entrance. I went into the turning lane for the freeway and there was a truck who had gone ahead of the line, waiting for oncoming traffic to pass despite there being a red arrow. When the coast was clear he U-turned. There was a lot of traffic on the on-ramp for the freeway, and the Stud-Heatherton section of the freeway was jamming.

We waited for a while, but our arrow never went green. The car in front of us turned anyway, when it was clear. A few minutes later some of the cars on the on-ramp (towards Warragul) turned around and came back to Stud Road, despite the one way-ness of the ramp. After about 4 rounds of traffic light changing I too jumped the lights, and so did the car after me. Some of the cars behind us cut across the median strip.
