===Australia=== The [[Sydney central business district]] features a number of one way pairs. One example is [[Pitt Street]] with [[Castlereagh Street]]. Pitt street carries only northbound traffic from [[Goulburn Street]] to [[Market Street, Sydney|Market Street]]. Castlreagh Street only carries southbound traffic on its entire length from [[Hunter Street, Sydney|Hunter Street]] to [[Hay Street, Sydney|Hay Street]]. [[Trams in Sydney|Trams]] once ran from [[Central railway station, Sydney|Central station]] to [[Circular Quay]] along Pitt Street and back to Central station along Castlereigh, Bligh, Bent and Loftus Streets. Other examples are [[York Street, Sydney|York]] and [[Clarence Street, Sydney|Clarence]] Streets between the [[Sydney Harbour Bridge|Harbour Bridge]] and [[Sydney Town Hall|Town Hall]], and [[King Street, Sydney|King]] and [[Market Street, Sydney|Market]] Streets between [[Sussex Street, Sydney|Sussex]] and [[Elizabeth Street, Sydney|Elizabeth]] Streets. In [[Redfern, New South Wales|Redfern]], [[Elizabeth Street, Sydney|Elizabeth Street]] is paired with [[Chalmers Street]] between Redfern Street and [[Eddy Avenue]]. Prior to the opening of the [[Eastern Distributor]] in 1999, Bourke and [[Crown Street, Sydney|Crown]] Streets were paired between [[Woolloomooloo]] and [[Waterloo, New South Wales|Waterloo]] after which they were converted back to two-way streets. In the [[Brisbane central business district]], [[Ann Street, Brisbane|Ann Street]] is paired with [[Turbot Street]] and [[George Street, Brisbane|George Street]] with North Quay, the latter by the [[Brisbane River]]. In [[South Bank, Queensland|Southbank]], Merivale Street is paired with Cordelia Street from Montague Road to Vulture Street. In [[East Brisbane]], [[Vulture Street, Brisbane|Vulture Street]] is paired with [[Stanley Street, Brisbane|Stanley Street]]. In the [[Hobart central business district]] a couplet of [[Davey Street]] and [[Macquarie Street, Hobart|Macquarie Street]] traverse the length of the city centre. The [[Tasman Highway]] joins the pair at the northeastern end at an interchange with the [[Brooker Highway]]. This current alignment was implemented in 1987 to coincide with the completion of the [[Hotel Grand Chancellor, Hobart|Sheraton Hotel]]. It was originally intended that the couplet system would serve as a stop gap measure prior to the construction of a freeway in [[Hobart Area Transportation Study|Hobart's Transportation study of 1965]]. Prior to this, all traffic in Hobart was two-way.
