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.

King Street /Kent Street intersection bike trips have more than doubled from 228 in March 2010 to 771 or a 238 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:

  • Bike riders on Pyrmont Bridge must give way to pedestrians and should travel within the 10 km/h speed limit
  • 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.
