For about the last five years, I've ridden past the "Cyclists must dismount" sign on the ramp at the Thornton st ferry at Kangaroo Point. I feel such a law-breaker.
Anyway - it's now a shared path! I need to find another misdemeanour. Maybe doing more than 10kph over the Goodwill Bridge
Has anyone ever seen anyone on that path NOT on a bike?

One could well says, "What were they thinking ?"
I sometimes think cycling "infrastructure" projects are designed by Engineers on their first project out of Uni.
Still adjusting to the real world.

I used to do that - I've seen too many people collected on that right hand turn into Main St.laager wrote:I gave up on that little path. Now I continue all the way to the point and then do the 'climb' up Main Street back to near Thornton Street. Adds a bit of distance to the commute and avoids that slippery little path.ValleyForge wrote:For about the last five years, I've ridden past the "Cyclists must dismount" sign on the ramp at the Thornton st ferry at Kangaroo Point.

"Cyclists must dismount" sign holds no weight in Queensland...jury is still out if it's black text or a roadworks yellow background though...

In QLD, even if the sign exists, you can just move to the left or right of the crossing of the ride straight across the road.
