Hazard - Jeanie St Anzac Hwy Kerb repairs in bike lane

To West Torrens City Council (csu@wtcc.sa.gov.au)

Photos attached

On the corner of Jeanie St and Anzac Hwy there have been kerb repairs.

When there was an open trench (that was a hazard to Cars), there was bunting and bollards to prevent vehicles from the hazard.

Now that the kerb is fixed and the trench is filled (partially) there remains A HAZARD TO CYCLISTS, yet the bunting and bollards are removed.

The edge of the partially filled trench travels for more than 2 metres in the direction of travel.

This edge will "trip" a cyclist and cause a fall ONTO the roadway.

Avoiding the hazard will cause a collision with a passing vehicle not expecting the change of direction.

Please return the bunting and bollards to warn cyclists and motorists, reducing the hazard to the cyclists using the Anzac Hwy Bike lane.

Please also adjust your processes to prevent this hazard from occuring in the future.

Killer buses...

Yes, Killer buses!

Many Adelaide buses "Crab" down the road. The back of the bus is more than 100mm closer to the kerb (and cyclist) than the front.

Proof...
http://rideoutloud.blogspot.com/search/label/Hazard%20-%20Killer%20bus

The video shows the driver has the front of the bus well outside of the white line of the bike lane, yet the back of the bus is well inside the line of the bike lane.

Video evidence has been sent to the Department of Transport twice with no action or response.

Beware the sound of a bus coming up behind you...

This was reported to West Torrens Council 15 Dec 2009.

http://roadrepair.blogspot.com/2009/12/fwd-hazard-12-birkalla-tce-nth-plympton.html

 

The attached image shows how the dip was repaired, yet a rut, extending over 1 metre long and more than 50mm deep was not attended to.

 

This rut will not only damage a bicycle on impact, it will catch the wheel and cause a fall onto the roadway.

Please confirm how and when West Torrens Council will meet the basic duty of care to remove this road hazards for cyclists.

Hazard - Marion Rd - between Tram Line and Anzac Hwy

2 hazards reported to Dept of Transport Hotline (1800 018 313)

1- Heading North, between Tram line and Anzac Hwy (on Marion Rd) the bitumen is wrippled up in excess of 50 mm. (This is also a "squeeze" point for cyclists)

2- Heading South, 2 mtrs before tram line, there is a 50mm deep dip in the road.

Both hazards are between 1 and 2 metres from the kerb, and in the line of travel of a cyclist.

In addition to the risk of injury from impact, a cyclist changing line of travel to avoid the hazard is at risk of collision from passing vehicles.

False statement - Uninterrupted travel along coast

The news item in The Advertiser suggests that this will be happening soon.

Really? Can we have a date on that?

I suspect no date will be provided, and the news is misleading and false.
