Chris replied to Chris's discussion Crown St improvements"There is a 25km/h limit along Butlin St, Darlington."
Bob Moore replied to Chris's discussion Crown St improvements"Double centre lines dont seem to bother most motorists when overtaking cyclists!
Wonder if we shouldnt be asking for a 30 K limit? apparently it isnt an option as there isnt a standard sign in the RMS sign book for 30, but keep seeing 30 K…"

City of Sydney is upgrading Crown St in Surry Hills between Cleveland & Devonshire.Changing from suicide lanes to mixed traffic, but maintaining 40km/h(!) speed limit and for some reason introducing solid centre lines (meaning it'd be illegal to overtake a hipster cruising along at 15, even if safe). Having no centre line at all would calm and slow traffic, as opposing drivers would have to negotiate with each other for space.Submissions close Sunday 2nd June.…See More
Chris replied to Kylie's discussion City of Sydney proposal for Wigram Rd, Ross St intersection, Forest Lodge"Great result, though we shouldn't have to have these small battles with a pro-integrated transport council.
How do they get through the intersection at present? Do they cross in 2 stages, stopping in the middle of the road? These guys have…"
Chris replied to Kylie's discussion City of Sydney proposal for Wigram Rd, Ross St intersection, Forest Lodge"Jason, agree we don't need to worry too much about bike traffic on Wigram Rd. But the issue here is the blockage of Ross St. When Harold Park is open Ross St will form part of a key bicycle route/desire line connecting University of Sydney,…"
Chris replied to Kylie's discussion City of Sydney proposal for Wigram Rd, Ross St intersection, Forest Lodge"It's a pathetic solution for pedestrian traffic also.
The crossings are well away from the desire lines. People won't use them unless they need to use the kerb ramps, so they'll end up hopping between medians.
Crossing Ross St (N)…"
Bob Moore replied to Chris's discussion Bike rider behaviour, St Leonard's Park Shared Path, North Sydney"There is no bike lane heading towards Alfred St. Cars and bikes are supposed to share a normal traffic lane. The other, narrow, lane is supposed to be a bike lane for travel in the opposite direction. Hence can't figure out why there is a bike…"
Doug replied to Chris's discussion Bike rider behaviour, St Leonard's Park Shared Path, North Sydney"Hi Bob, if you go to the Alfred St end and turn around you will see a downhill/east bike lane begin sign and a corresponding sign at the end of the contraflow path. i.e both directions are designated bicycle paths and motor vehicles are allowed in…"
sammy replied to Chris's discussion Bike rider behaviour, St Leonard's Park Shared Path, North Sydney"and drivers must give way to any pedestrian in the carpark aswell "
Bob Moore replied to Chris's discussion Bike rider behaviour, St Leonard's Park Shared Path, North Sydney"And why do they have footpaths either side?
Also, no R2-10s on their R4-4s. And they should repeat the R4-4s along the way, as the second section just does not look like a shared zone.
Guide says traffic slowing devices should not normally be…"
PaulJ replied to Chris's discussion Bike rider behaviour, St Leonard's Park Shared Path, North Sydney"If
then why do they need the zebra crossing in the shared zone? confusing"
Jay replied to Chris's discussion Bike rider behaviour, St Leonard's Park Shared Path, North Sydney"Ah, didn't realise that! Thanks, Bob. "
Bob Moore replied to Chris's discussion Bike rider behaviour, St Leonard's Park Shared Path, North Sydney"Current guidelines for shared zones are here.
http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/roadsafety/downloads/shared_zone_policy.pdf
I think Denison St does not comply with these guidelines in a number of respects.
RMS is responsible for approving shared zones, so…"
