Expressway Etiquette:

This brochure was released during the 1960s to introduce the motoring public in NSW to freeway driving. It covers the design of expressways, how to use them and their benefits, with particular reference to the Sydney-Newcastle Expressway, which, at the time was a major engineering feat, and the first proper freeway road in New South Wales.
