Pacific Coast Highway Share the Road sign unveiled


I've been thinking about trying to ``watch for cyclists'' signs up on
Centre Dandenong Road. It's the only road I've copped abuse on laregly
because a shared path runs along the side of the road.

I reckon the installation of these signs will `legitimize' my presence
on the road.

Thoughts?



I am really against road signs in general. They seem to stop people
thinking. So yeah we want street signs and any sign that helps people
think. (I think But I think sharing the road signs work in that
respect. So yeah.

during our visit.

Hmm, doesn't seem to be having that effect on Beach Road! ;-)


I've never seen kangaroos on beach road.

Although I can accurately say that I've woken up to kangaroos hopping
down the main street of my then town.


I near missed one in coburg once

to be up there with having one of the most 'cluttered' road

more make drivers pay attention?

I tend to agree on the whole, however the case Euan cites is one of
those where, I think, a lot of drivers assume the law on bike lanes
applies to the path. If they at least dispel that notion, they may do
some good.

But I'm not sure about "Watch for cyclists" -- that strikes me as more
like "Watch for trucks entering".

That's what they have on Beach Road, which also has an off road path
running along it. So there's a precedent, hadn't thought of that...

They're the same as the ones in the Adelaide hills on the popular training
climbs with very poor sight distance. Yellow and black signs with a
distance underneath.

If you had a near miss, does that mean you hit it?

Ash is my brothers name . Be very careful with it. Dont damage
it he is an unforgiving little sod.

Ummmm no a near miss means it was nearer to being a hit than a miss

Ummmm Bell st it was.

had another meeting opposite broady station. THat one took off straight
down the middle of PascoeVale rd. Was on his side and staying in his
lane. So if he had had lights he would have been showing a higher
skill level than most drivers on that road after midnight but the lack
of lights bought him down to average

Whereas I just thought, "Targets to your front - watch and shoot."
