I notice the council has painted sharrows like these on the aproaches to speed chicanes on Thames St, Box Hill so the message is getting about.

That's great that it is spreading outside of the core cycling suburbs. With critical mass from councils surely Vicroads can't keep its head in the sand forever.il padrone wrote:I notice the council has painted sharrows like these on the aproaches to speed chicanes on Thames St, Box Hill so the message is getting about.

I'm not saying they are, saying they are the types of implementations VicRoads will do on the types of roads they 'own'. Best not to ask for VicRoads to create bicycle roundabout infrastructure they will just F#ck it up. Local councils own the back roads and cyclists are their rate payers at least in the inner suburbs and they will try to accommodate to varied degrees.wellington_street wrote:Roundabout cycle lanes are never "the best outcome"piledhigher wrote:Vicroads 'own' the major roads these would seem to be best suited to local councils 40 and 50km/hr streets, the best outcome for VicRoads roads would be the roundabout cycle lanes or off road parallels.

To add to this, the 'Cyclists Dismount' sign is also a G-series sign (G9-58) and has no legal force.wellington_street wrote:Ditto for NSW:InTheWoods wrote:In qld that sign is the g9-60, which, belonging to the guide signs does not itself need to be obeyed, although obviously if there's some other rule which says you can't ride further on that needs to be obeyed.

Just another way roads authorities (un?)intentionally encourage road rage against cyclists. Most motorists (including myself until I looked it up) would think that is a regulatory sign.

So cyclists have to share the road with sand bagged signage.
At best this is good intentions marred by stupidity.

I would laugh but... someone actually got out of their vehicle, brought out the stencil, and painted this friggin mark. And someone backed him up and put in one the map along with the other lines. I know government workers are pretty dumb, but its just ridiculous how dumb they are.wellington_street wrote:Cycling infrastructure, South Perth style
I am reminded of the time that a contractor installed an Australia Post mail box in the middle of someones driveway entry. Like right in the middle of a obvious concrete drive way.
