Hazard - Sturt Rd - Glass in Bike lane

There is shattered glass in the bike lane in front of Marion Council Chambers. I think it is from the bus shelter glass.

It has been there a week. I noticed it there and asumed it would cleaned up as part of fixing the bus shelter. If not, i would have thought staff at Marion Council Chambers would have noticed it and acted on it.

Please remove the broken glass to prevent cycle punctures or other injuries indirectly caused by the glass.

Hazard, The Esplanade

Hello (mail@holdfast.sa.gov.au)

There is a 60mm plus hole where an unsealed trench on The Esplanade, west side near Marine Parade ( in section of Esplanade where the footpath works are in progress).

The hazard is approx 1 metre out from the left edge, which will either be hit by cyclists, or cause a cyclist to swerve unexpectedly.

The road is narrowed by the works, and a cyclist moving 1 metre will collide with passing vehicles that do not expect the change in direction by the cyclist avoiding the hazard.

This is a popular route for cyclists and the hole will cause damage or injury if struck.

If there is any delay in reinstating the bitumen please monitor unsealed sections so hazards are prevented.

Anzac Highway Bike Lane - West of Beckman

The photos are all taken on the South side of Anzac Highway between Beckman
and Brighton Roads.

The hazards for a cyclist may be:
- impact with an depression or bump
- catching of the wheel with an edge or rut
- collision with vehicle or another cyclist while avoiding hazard

Any hazard near a corner is worst as the cyclist may be signalling a turn
(one handed), watching out for traffic entering the intersection, or
negotiating the turn.

Reported to Department of Transport 18 Nov 2008 (1800 018 313 road and traffic light report hotline).
