Share the road, as always, is interpreted as meaning "cyclists get out of the way" or "cyclists should ride in the gutter".

According to the blackspot web site "The information collected will be used to lobby for serious funding for cycling infrastructure to build a better network". It's not really for immediate hazards as far as I can see. It would be better to use the Main Roads report a fault here:

and if it is a WA problem...
I thought is was in WA but I might have given bad advice. It seems reporting is a lot more complicated than I thought. On the DoT web site you can Report a hazard or crash but this is what it says:
For traffic lights and major principal shared paths along freeways, major highways and railway tracks, a report should be sent to Main Roads WA using their online form.
For hazards on shared paths in railway precincts, please inform the Public Transport Authority.
For hazards in the Perth metropolitan area (including Mandurah), please report it to the local government responsible for the area.
So, depending on where the hazard is, you have to report it to Main Roads, PTA, the Local Government or DoT? The rules that govern which agency to report to don't seem particularly easy to understand to me. Maybe cover your bases and report it to Main Roads and DoT?

I think Boognoss pruned/deleted some 'political' posts before posting the warning so you can't see what incurred their wrath.

Is the Parking time restricted to when commuters wouldn't be using the 'section of road with bike labels that is meant to be a bike lane'? Wouldn't lose quite as many points for that, but it's still not the cleverest thing.

Standard city parking restrictions. You can park there as long as you want for as long as you want so long as you have a ticket on the dashboard. Even during the busiest time of the year when the area is gridlocked with major traffic diversions in place for the Ekka (one of the entrances is the blue gate on the right) you can still park there. It's outside the RNA Showgrounds and Royal Brisbane Womens Hospital. It's the first time I have ever seen no parked cars there.

Sign is for 'straight-through' vehicles crossing from where the camera is. Left-turns are still OK (sign is not facing to them).
Mandatory helmet law?
