There is a pair in Hobart regularly nests in the middle of a suburban  
roundabout.  Virtually the first trip the chicks have to make each  
year is to cross the road to a park nearby.

Dear all,
 The perversity of Lapwings to nest in very public areas is  
amazing.  There was a pair that regularly nested on the golf course  
in Armidale (not sure if they are still doing so).  And they  
swooped, but seemed to target one golfer in particular  who would  
end up in an absolute fury, flinging clubs at the birds.  Of  
course, onlookers thought this quite funny, because the golfer in  
question although on a very low handicap, was quite often very  
grumpy, to say the least.
