distance between dream & reality... a cycle lane

Ok, let's crack in to it: just photos with some footnote. Enjoy.

  1. George St cycle lane. Linear kerb (no gap). Wider on traffic lane side (contra-flow). Minimum 1m shy line, from edge/yellow line to street features, i.e. trees/chairs. Do you feel anything missing?

2. Ramp transit to be flush with footpath and median island, which is to house signals (cycling incl.) and better separation to traffic

3. Many street features, but clear and neat to me. Very inclusive road environment. Do you concern cars go errant or maliciously on to footpath via ramp?

4. A short section of green cycle lane leads to the box would be ideal, but given it's retrofitting, works fine nonetheless. As a driver will you get annoyed during peak, just missed the turn due to a (few) cyclists.

5. Cycle lane disappears, quite unsafe, with cars coming out of an underground parking merging right; and bus merging left, and the lane ends abruptly, however, no easy fix if you know the location

6. Mary St pop-up, will change once the construction is done...Hope it will be made somewhat COVID-safe...watch this space. More on Pop-up

7. Notable attention to details: short section of fencing, and thin slice of red (just enough amount of contrast) indicating a side entry. Minimal signage. Total green width <3m works fine (with slow-down paint, CCTV)

8. Pedestrian box, with minimal signage. No fencing long riverside, No worries!

9. Bicentennial bikeway. fence height increases from 1.2 to 1.4m. Note: side ramp is for maintenance vehicle only. [6,000 daily counts, Go figure!]

10. real-time loop cycle count @ southern end of Go-between. [1500 daily counts]
