Sounds like it's time to fit the bmx bars again (jokes, but not really...)! Thanks for reporting it Roland.rolandp wrote:It's back. Hot weather and this section is again on the rise. Not as bad as last year, but then again it is only the first week in the 30's.
I noticed the hump on the way home this evening (heading north). On the way in (heading south) didn't notice it, in the morning.
Will report next to MainRoads to rectify before it gets too large.

Reported by NeatStreets
Additional one just north of this location (around Carine)
Also reported by NeatStreets
These are around 15cm in height and do make an interesting ride if you fail to notice them.

E-mail sent off again to MainRoads (CC'ing Reece.Waldock and Minister.Buswell) asking when it will be repaired.

I have also now received 4 complaint numbers on this matter:
C13#2869 - 15-Nov-2013
C13#220 - 21-Jan-2014
C14#268 - 24-Jan-2014
C14#283 - 26-Jan-2014
Note, I was out of the country from late November until early January - which is why there is a large gap. But, it was reported and followed up twice before I left and should have been fixed last year.
I also moved a couple of discarded items.
Located next to Mitchell Fway - the tree this witches hat was protecting from the wild life I thought was better located
In 7-odd years of commuting to work, there has never been a rubbish bin located at Karrinyup/Mitchell Fway exit, but was there when I returned from Europe in early Jan - it was completely empty so no-one is using it
I also purchased some 'Danger' tape.
Result being:

I went through there to/from a BBQ yesterday (on the MTB, as there was alcohol involved and I wanted something a bit more stable for the ride home!).

Based on a few peoples experience I will be sending a complaint in and ultimately an invoice- if possible does anyone have an example letter (preferably successful) that may help- also Roland I will likely reference your history of concerns raised over this section.
Thanks in advance

It will be much harder for Main Roads to disclaim liability in this situation as they had received 4(!) complaints about the affected section before the incident occurred and they quite obviously didn't take reasonable steps to make it safe.

Kudos also to Pro Lite who have helped out massively with a new rear rim (Merano) being built up on the old hub at a very good price.

That is what should be done as a first stop gap when marking it for major repair, or immediately after, not 3 months later =PCXCommuter wrote:I hope that is a short term fix that is pathetically inadequate!!!
At least there's room for improvement =D

I had even carried the witches hat that some lovely person moved to Karrinyup Rd this morning, back to the correct location.
