College Street

The College Street two-way separated cycleway, with sections of shared paths at intersections, has been built along the eastern edge of Hyde Park.

This cycleway is part of an important link for the proposed  5.4 km City to Green Square route, linking  Sydney’s fastest growth area with the city centre.

Bike trips have grown!

 

Bike count figures at key intersections (compares counts in March 2010 and March 2011) show bike trips have increased in areas where we have built our bike network.

College Street/Oxford Street intersection bike trips have risen from 278 to 862 in the PM period, or a 210 per cent increase.

More bike riders mean faster travel for short trips, fewer cars on the road, less overcrowding on public transport, better air quality and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Useful tips:

  • At intersections, bike riders on the cycleway should cross within the designated bike crossing on the green bike signal
  • Riders should watch out for cars, particularly when cars are turning left
  • Riders must always give way to pedestrians and are not allowed to ride bikes on pedestrian crossings
  • The cycleway should not be blocked or used for storage (garbage bins, skip bins, construction materials, removalists etc). Garbage bins are to be left on the footpath near the gutter. Bins will be collected from the footpath and returned to the footpath
  • People should not walk on the bicycle path unless they are crossing by the shortest route, or they are in a wheelchair or helping someone using a wheelchair; and
  • Remember to look left and right before crossing a cycleway.
