<p>Hi all,<br>
<br>
Via the pages of the Manningham Leader comes this reaction to a local<br>
issue on shared paths. Read the article, you can also leave comments if<br>
you wish, I have & so have several others.<br>
<br>
Pedestrians want speed humps to slow down cyclists<br>
<a href="http://manningham-leader.whereilive.com.au/news/story/hump-over-speed/">http://manningham-<wbr>leader.whereiliv<wbr>e.com.au/<wbr>news/story/<wbr>hump-over-<wbr>speed/</a><br>
<br>
Speed humps on a shared path. Yes. Really.<br>
<br>
Treadly & Me have posted this excellent piece: Sharing the shared paths<br>
<a href="http://treadly.net/2009/03/12/sharing-the-shared-paths/">http://treadly.<wbr>net/2009/<wbr>03/12/sharing-<wbr>the-shared-<wbr>paths/</a><br>
<br>
This week on YarraBUG Radio after Robs piece on National Road<br>
Safety Strategy, we had a 5 minute soapbox piece on shared paths, i.e.;<br>
shared responsibilities, why do certain riding behaviour if it's<br>
potentially dangerous to yourself & others, tips to make it safer, be nice<br>
etc.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.yarrabug.org/radio/">http://www.yarrabug<wbr>.org/radio/</a><br>
<br>
The discussion was rather general, but we thought we'd have another chat<br>
as the issue has come up several times at the Yarra Council Bicycle<br>
Advisory Committee. The feedback I've received so far about shared path<br>
responsibilities from councils is that their can't really do much, over<br>
placing signage near or painted on the paths, i.e.: Upfield shared path.<br>
<br>
In all seriousness the speed hump suggestion hasn't got a chance in hell,<br>
from either a infrastructure perspective, from Manningham Council actually<br>
funding the idea, from potentially exposing the council to a huge public<br>
liability risk, potential criticism from disability advocates, VicRoads<br>
including it in Cycle Notes design standards and the fact it's just plain<br>
silly.<br>
<br>
Although there's still a perceived problem of riders behaviour on shared<br>
paths towards other users AND visa versa. Can anything actually be done in<br>
the shape of a education program? Can anything realistically be done at<br>
all?<br>
<br>
Getting back to YarraBUG Radio we're already up to Show 26# and should be<br>
podcasting soon so you can listen in at another time other than 10am on<br>
Monday morning. More soon!<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
<br>
