You sure it will affect traffic ... when Sydney had the Olympics (much larger) ... even with our crap roads and worse traffic .... I found when the games were on ... traffic was non-existant as a lot of people were told the roads are going to be packed .... so they all caught trains .... I drove to work at oLidcombe everyday (right next door to Homebush Bay ... and there was not a car on the road ... was the empiest I have seen Sydney's road during peak hour .... LOL

The Pretend Olympics are boring as bat**** and are going to cause massive issues with work.

**** them off to somewhere that wants them I say.

I dont mind the Olympics when they roll around every 4 years

But the Commonwealth games arent that interesting for me.

Ill be watching the cricket in South Africa and the Rugby league with more interest
