Was no warning signs up in the wet dark morning I went through. Lucky I was going slow and was able to stay upright.

Last time I rode it (some time ago) it stopped at Welshpool Rd.
Does it continue past Tonkin Hwy intersection?
Thanks

Rex I answered last time you asked but it now goes to Berkshire Rd at which point it transitions to on-road cycle lanes/shoulder lanes.Rex wrote:How far north does the Roe Hwy path go to ?

Edit: Edit to add that the on-road lanes from Berkshire Rd disappear mid-block before reaching Maida Vale Rd. Leaving cyclists with nowhere to go except into the lane with 100kph traffic. It looks likes quite an elaborate death-trap with no legal way of escaping from it once you enter the road shoulders. Hopefully there is some signage at Berkshire Rd indicating that the cycle lanes do not connect through.

Had a hard time convincing the Kalamunda Shire chap that it either belonged to them or one of their rate payers but that either way, the day somebody connects with it that it would cost their ratepayers in general quite a tidy sum. He eventually conceded that perhaps he would go and have a look. From what I can tell the gate should only ever be opened to allow large truck bodies to enter Roe from Austin Engineering rather than providing a short cut onto Chisholm for workers going to or from work.

chatted at about 2pm and it was all locked up when I went through at 5:30. My rates aren't completely going to waste.

If I end up doing FIFO I know a way to get there.
The Gateway website mentions future upgrades between the bridge and Stanton - I didn't see anything amiss

You shouldn't have to though as that is what the gate is for.

And again this morning. Different car though.Tornado wrote:I have seen people driving around the gate at the beginning of Chisolm where is comes off the Roe Highway. They drive up onto the bike path and around the gate. Careful if you come down the hill at speed and are not anticipating traffic coming from your right.

Yes, it needs two or three bollards to close the gap at the end of the gate. At least the gate itself has been fixed up, closed and locked instead of just hanging in the breeze like it was a few weeks ago.Tornado wrote:

Please be aware that the Leach Hwy section has an uncontrolled road crossings at the Acton Ave exit from Leach Hwy. It isn't a bad intersection as the road is one-way it is just a bit of a surprise when the rest of the road crossings are grade separated.Wixxy wrote:Am going to do the Roe and Leech branches next week as I build up to the distance some of you guys and gals do to commute.

Berkshire Rd, Gateway WA map shows a long path existing coming back to Berkshire Rd from the next road Maida Vale on Roe, unlike the other side seems to be full length between the 2 roads?
At Hale Rd I was told by a passing cyclist the shoulder continues along Tonkin to just before Albany Hwy, where you must exit?

forgive me for asking something that might have been answered up thread already - but keen to know how much of Tonkin/roe is PSP.
I'm keen to do a loop from Tonkin (getting on somewhere around Guildford road interchange or Great Eastern highway) down to Roe and then back to the Freeway and then up freeway & home.
ROE: I just had a look on google street view and it looks like there's a PSP from the Freeway along Roe all the way to Welshpool road - then it just disappears?
TONKIN: is there a PSP along the section from GE highway to intersection with Roe?
Or is it fragmented (as some of the comments above tend to suggest) and you have to make do with the shoulder of the actual highway at times?

I Did much the same route going in the other direction. I don't think Google maps has caught up yet.
You should be able to find the route from this link; https://ridewithgps.com/routes/26618328
From Guilford Rd, head down River Rd. Cross under Tonkin at Dunstone Rd. From there it's pretty average concrete shared path until you get to the new bit of Tonkin. Then it's all PSP back to Perth.

thanks so much for that, any idea where the new path on Tonkin kicks in?Cycleops70 wrote:I Did much the same route going in the other direction. I don't think Google maps has caught up yet.
