The rail corridor is the space left behind by the railway line, about 24km, formerly ran by KTM, from the north (Woodlands) of Singapore to the south (Tanjong Pagar), after all the railway tracks and equipment were removed and returned to Malaysia. It is now transformed into a green corridor, a community space for all people to run, cycle or walk for fun. It is also a time to get closer to nature, breath some fresh air and relax the mind from the hustle and bustle of a modern lifestyle.
So you have been told.
You must turn left in the left lane.
The left lane is the Cahill Expressway and veers left across the top of Circular Quay. Going east to Bondi.
The right lanes are the Bradfield Highway and proceed to the Sydney CBD, Darling Harbour or the ANZAC bridge.
So what if you don't turn left?
Well there's a nasty camera.
Photographed yesterday on my walk across the Sydney harbour bridge to the Quay.
That B-Line double-decker bus has just come from Palm Beach. It works out of Brookvale Bus Depot on Sydney's northern beaches. I worked there, and on this bus line, all through my university days.
Back in the early 19th century, lol.

the sky was partially cloudy, the road ahead was bright with the sunlight coming through the clouds....which helped me to get this unusual effect!

Virginia Railway Express EMD GP40PH-2 V21 was Manassas bound with a train of leased Coaster coaches in 2000. The Washington Monument can be seen to the left of the V21 while the Capitol building can be seen to the right of the coaches.
Rolling past the carcass of what was once Potomac Yard at Slaters Lane, the former Penn Central GP40 would hang on a few more years before being replaced by newer MK rebuilds.
The coaches would head for the Pacific Northwest soon after this photo.
A photo taken 500m upstream from Nihonbashi. This section of the Expressway is to be removed by 2040.
Tokiwabashi (常盤橋) is the name of a bridge over the Furukawa / Nihonbashi-gawa / Sotobori. It is located in an immediate vicinity of Oote-mon by Uchibori, the inner moat. The old Hirakawa used to flow into Tokyo Bay near Yuurakucho, and the section of the Nihonbashi-gawa downstream from here is a canal excavated during the Edo Period.
Wooden gate structures were demolished in 1873, and a stone bridge replaced the old wooden one. A new stone bridge was constructed after the earthquake in 1923. It was damaged by the earthquake in 2011 and repaired for pedestrian use in 2021.
The statue half-hidden by foliage in the left is of Shibusawa Ei'chi (渋沢栄一 1840 - 1931). He helped the conservation of the stone base and the bridge.
He came from a peasant family in present-day Saitama prefecture, was promoted to Samurai by the Tokugawa shogunate, worked as a bureaucrat under the Meiji government, and turned to an entrepreneur establishing banks, factories, railway companies etc. while advocating the importance of education and social welfare. He is regarded the father of capitalism in Japan.
His portrait is now printed on the 10,000 yen bill.
As for personal life, he had a wife and several mistresses and fathered more than a dozen of children. He was criticised for letting his mistresses to live in the same residence as his wife.
Some people insist that the Shibusawa bill should not be used as a wedding gift but instead the old Fukuzawa Yukichi bill who was a monogamy (^_^; He was not a saint.
