Melbourne’s most confusing icon on a tea towel, “Right Turn from Left Only.” If you’ve driven through Melbourne, you’ve probably faced the dreaded hook turn and maybe even panicked mid-intersection.

First introduced in 1916 to keep the roads clear for our beloved trams, the hook turn has gone from a practical road rule to a total rite of passage. It’s baffled tourists, learner drivers, and even locals for over a century. So much so, it’s now got its own fan club of how-to videos and internet explainers.

Whether you’ve mastered it or still avoid it like a pothole on Swanston Street, this design celebrates one of Melbourne’s most iconic (and confusing) street signs.
