  • (Keeping Safe Distances from Bicycles) Bill 2014 Second Reading Speech Hon Lynn Maclaren MLC - 20 March 2014
    Road Traffic Amendment (Keeping Safe Distances from Bicycles) Bill 2014 Second Reading Speech Hon Lynn MacLaren MLC - 20 March 2014 I move that the Bill be now read a second time. Cyclists need a protective buffer when sharing roads with motorists. Current Western Australian road rules require drivers of motor vehicles to allow ‘sufficient’ overtaking distance when passing a bicycle rider. ‘Sufficient’ is an inadequate and unclear description that has repeatedly failed to protect bicycle riders. Amendments to road rules to specify a minimum distance are critical to improving the safety of bicycle riders. As specified in the Road Traffic Code 2000, a safe passing distance between a cyclist and a motor vehicle is considered to be “a sufficient distance to avoid a collision with that vehicle or to avoid obstructing the path of that vehicle.” 1 In addition, a safe distance behind a vehicle is considered to be a distance at which it “will enable the driver to stop the vehicle in an emergency with safety, and without running into the vehicle in front of him or her.”2 Legislative amendment, with appropriate education and enforcement, to mandate a minimum distance that motorists must keep from bicycle riders is currently the single most important action needed to reduce bicycle rider fatalities. There is an ethical issue when comparing dangerous behaviour by motorists to risky behaviour by cyclists. The driver endangers the cyclist, not vice versa, and it is rare for a cyclist or pedestrian to injure another road user. As reported on the ABC’s 7.30 programme last Friday night, there's no doubt who comes off second best when a car and a bike collide.

NRTC Programs: Implementation of Reforms. Key Milestones: Approval of the Australian Road Rules by the Australian Transport Council in January 1999. Consideration of amendments to the Rules by representatives of all jurisdictions, meeting as the Australian Road Rules Maintenance Group during March to September 1999 and Parliamentary Counsel of each State and Territory. Abstract: Amendments are required to clarify the intent of particular provisions in the Australian Road Rules; to incorporate corrections and rectify omissions largely of a minor nature; to enable the finalisation and subsequent publication of the amended Australian Road Rules, so that States and Territories can proceed without delay to their implementation on 1 December 1999; and to ensure that the Australian Road Rules, when implemented, make the maximum contribution to road safety and the efficient movement of traffic on Australia’s roads.

  • TEM Vol 3 Part 2.17A
    Treating pedestrian and turning vehicle conflicts at signalised intersections The following table provides a brief overview of the treatments and their appropriateness in certain road environments. Table 1: Overview of treatments and their use in certain road environments Table 2: Overview of treatments and their use in certain road environments Treatments to eliminate pedestrian and turning vehicle conflicts at signalised intersections Grade separation of pedestrian crossing Pedestrian overpass Maroondah Highway, Ringwood Brief description Full grade separation of pedestrians, above or below an intersection, eliminates the conflict between motorists and pedestrians at a signalised intersection. A pedestrian overpass or underpass allows pedestrians to cross the road independently of the traffic signals. Potential • At intersections within pedestrian priority areas as defined in the VicRoads SmartRoads locations strategy. • Within central activities areas (including hospital and university campuses) where pedestrian volumes are significant in all directions of the intersection. • Where an at-grade crossing is not desirable or where it is preferred that pedestrians be able to cross the intersection at any time. • Where the intersection is located between public transport nodes (e.g. a connection between a railway station and a bus interchange). • Where pedestrian paths or desire lines already take them over or under the road (e.g., at an elevated railway station). Considerations • The geometry of the overpass / underpass will appropriately cater for the expected volume of pedestrians (and cyclists). • The impact on travel times for users of the grade separated facility - they will not be favourable where the walking distance is more than 50 percent greater than the at-grade distance.

  • BICYCLE STORAGE AREAS and ADVANCED BICYCLE STOP LINES
    Technical direction For traffic and transport practitioners POLICY – GUIDELINES - ADVICE PUBLISHED JULY 2009 TDT 2009/ Supersedes NIL 06 BICYCLE STORAGE AREAS and ADVANCED BICYCLE STOP LINES INTRODUCTION On 1 July 2008, new road rules came into force in NSW. The Road Rules 2008 included rules for Bicycle Storage Areas and Bicycle Hook Turn Storage Areas at signalised intersections. Advanced Bicycle Stop Lines were already covered by the road rules, though this term is not, given that they are simply another type of stop line. There are many different terminologies used when referring to bicycle storage areas and their associated components and/or variations. The terms commonly used are head start storage areas, bicycle reservoirs, bicycle storage areas, bicycle storage boxes or bike boxes. In NSW we will use the terms Expanded Bicycle Storage Areas, Bicycle Hook Turn Storage Areas and Advanced Bicycle Stop Lines. The general terms, bicycle storage area, when used in this Technical Direction, refers to both Expanded Bicycle Storage Areas and Bicycle Hook Turn Storage Areas. This technical direction covers the use of Expanded Bicycle Storage Areas, Bicycle Hook Turn Storage Areas and Advanced Bicycle Stop Lines at signalised intersection within NSW. In general, bicycle storage areas are best suited for use on roads with high bicycle numbers and lower traffic volumes (e.g. local roads and some regional roads) while Advanced Bicycle Stop Lines are more suited to roads with both high numbers of bicycles and vehicles (e.g. major roads).
