$100 fines for cyclists in East Perth
suomynona Wrote: Hi, Well the signs have been up for a few months now, and finally it seems this morning the local council (armed with a couple of bike police) were issuing $100 fines for cyclists riding across the East Perth footbridge. I am (twice daily) bemused why this single 50m section of probably the safest, slowest, widest and highest visibility section of our 100's of km's beautiful bike paths in Perth is such a focus for the local council? There are many far more dangerous sections for both pedestrians and cyclists that get significantly more traffic that are not addressed by the same council, some just a few hundred metres away (Narrows bridge underpass for one). Anyway, the cycle police officers were really friendly and informative about it all (thx guys) and are just doing there job, but from what I could overhear the council would be doing this for the next few weeks. Cheers, suomynonA - who was lucky enough to avoid being fined The bridge next to the entertainment centre is still open though the signs say it will be closed, a bit confusing. -- cyclist2 |

Where exactly is this footbridge? I thought it was the one which goes to/from Claisebrook station, but I passed that on the way home last night (I work about 30m from the end of it) and there was a sign saying "cyclists must give way to pedestrians", or something similar, which to me means that you can cycle.

Graeme suspension bridge across Claisebrook Inlet, near Lamont's Restaurant. Has wooden surface. Can ride under it on both ends. I work in Royal Street. SteveA -- SteveA |
