20mm high, inoperative reflectors on edges of bike lanes

To the Office of Cycling and Walking...

 

Cc BikeSA and BISA

 

Along many bike lanes (for example Anzac Highway) there are many reflectors placed on, or near the white line.

 

The bike lane only applies for a couple of hours, so for most of the day, cyclists are moving in, and out of the lane, negotiating the reflectors that are as high as the height of their tyre.

 

If these extinct reflectors were of value to road safety it would be understandable, but 90% of them have been painted over, have car rubber over them, or worn off their relective surface.

 

There should be a prize for guessing the number of reflectors that do not work along the edge of the bike lane, yet are a 20mm high hazard to cyclists.

 

Please suggest how I can encourage the road authorities (both arterial and council roads) to remove this hazard.
