Agree re the bike lane at the lights. No room for a bike at Eric heading Sth in particular. Two cars + a bike don't go. Add a truck and it's dicing with death!NewStew wrote: My opinion on Curtin Av is that there are a few small areas that with some changes would vastly improve the safety. Firstly, at each of the traffic lights the bike lane needs to be installed so it is continuous through the intersection rather than pushing the bikes back into the cars. Secondly, the roundabout at the southern end of Marine Parade (I think it is called that - the road that runs along cottesloe beach) needs to be re-thought - best option would be a section of grade separated path for those coming down the hill towards fremantle, going the other way actually isn't too unsafe but maybe a lane that runs through the roundabout going up the hill. Thirdly, just make sure that there is a proper on road bike lane the full length all the way down to Tydeman Rd.
Heading Sth through the Marine Pde roundabout is OK as there is a footpath that can be used (not sure of legality, but appears to be designed to allow cyclists to keep out of roundabout). I actually find going north far more dangerous
Have to deal with cars turning left into Marine Pde across you, turning right in Marine (from the Nth), and doing a U Turn Marine heading East - U Turn and heading west)
As for Tydeman... mmm I head for the shared path
