Designing safer cycleways for Sydney
After years of research and consultation Sydney City Council have built 10 kilometres of a planned 55km of separated cycleways that has done little to ease CBD traffic congestion. These cycleways are a nightmare for pedestrians as cyclists speed through numerous shared paths; unsafe for bikers due to dozens of dangerous intersections; and the narrowed roads has resulted in raging motorists.
City Council’s spin cycle continues with numbers of increased new riders, in reality ratepayers are getting a bad return: the bike paths are empty most of the day.
