Station St bike lane Bonbeach: cars parked in bike lane
Nepean Highway, south of Melbourne near Bonbeach station.
I have complained to the Kingston council about cars parked in the bike lane on the west side of Station St. The cars are always parked near the station in the bike lane. Their response is that this parking is legal, and they do not propose to do anything about it. If you use these bike lanes going northward, then I suggest the only safe way to proceed is to "seize the lane", and to ride in the middle of the car lane. Of course riding no more than two abreast, as the law requires. No need to hurry, since obviously there is no car traffic to speak of, and they won't be delayed significantly. Meanwhile I am going to contact the Victorian Government and see if Kingston Council received money for this bike lane. If they did then I will encourage them to seek a refund of the funding for this portion of the bike lane. Since it is obviously not a bike lane, and the money would be better spent on councils that actually make bike lanes. Please forward this message to any cycling outlets that may be appropriate. Thanks. |
