Hazard - service covers

To Adelaide Council and United Water

There are numerous service covers around Adelaide CBD that are hazardous to cyclists (sunken over 30mm).

On example is King William, heading North, crossing South Tce (map attached).

One service cover is outside of the bike lane, but often pedestrians and parked vehicles force a cyclist outside of the lane and over the sunken cover.

Please attend to this cover. Please also review the streets for any service cover in the line of travel of a cyclist (up to 3 metres from the kerb to allow for passing parked vehicles AND BUSES).

A cyclist hitting a sunken cover, or avoiding impact, with change their line of travel.

There is a HIGH risk of collision from passing vehicles who do not expect the cyclist to move out into the road.
