Cyclists and intersections *
The RAC in WA has posted a list of the 10 worst intersections in Perth in 2012. This intrigued me as intersections, particularly roundabouts are also a significant issue for cyclists [1]. Also given that the RAC likes to promote itself as a mobility organisation and it is our representative as vulnerable road users on the Road Safety Council I thought it might be a good idea to gather feedback from cyclists on which intersections they consider the worst. Maybe the RAC could then use this data to frame their own more in-depth survey or better still actually use the data to lobby on our behalf, right?
Hi. This blog is very much about cycling (commuting, road touring, mountain bike touring, Audax, ride safety and improving cycling infrastructure), and to a less extent now days, bushwalking all with a mainly Western Australia focus. I hope you enjoy your visit and take a moment to leave a comment and to keep in touch. Regards, Andrew.
