There was a fatality in April 2010 with the exact same scenario.

Bike Lanes - The NORM for Adelaide...

King George Ave Brighton South Australia (Reported to Holdfast Council over 12 months ago but no action taken to remove hazards at edge of bitumen)










Sturt Road, heading East, crossing Marion Rd (South Australia)

Three of the images above are taken on Anzac Hwy.

According to the Department

Bus Danger at Glenelg

WIF516 Falcon - Impact with cyclist

While indicating the intention to go around a parked car, the passing car drove so close that the mirror impacted the hand of the cyclist...

It is clear that there is a parked car ahead, and was NOT a sudden change by the cyclist.

The older male driver should be made to have a driving test!

More Killer Buses - Anzac Highway

This is another example of a poor road surface, combined with killer buses, that will cause injury or death to a cyclist.

Note that as the bus leans to the left when stopping (from the camber of the road) the rear of the bus 'crabs' and is closer to the kerb than the front.

Bike Killing Buses

Press play to view video

The video is not clear enough to see clearly the "crabbing" of the buses.

Follow any bus on a road with a camber and you will see what is described in the video.

Comments welcome

Letters to Director of Road Safety DTEI (Martin Small) and to Holdfast Bay City Council

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Typical substandard infrastructure

This is typical of Adelaide Bike lanes.

Not only are the lane sub-standard, requests to remove the hazard of the road surfaces are not acted on.

For more examples of delays, go to www.roadrepair.blogspot.com and click on the label "Anzac Highway".
.

Delays to remove hazard of service covers

As with all sunken or faulty service covers reported to United water, they are slow to remove the hazard, often not removing the hazard at all.

"Aptly named anzac highway, as it is an ongoing battle."

Dangerous driving in bike lane [VTH 349]

The vehicle was driving in the centre lane, and then changed into the left lane.

The vehicle then continued to move into the bicycle lane, causing the cyclist to take action to prevent collision.

Report given to police (with video):

WYS620 - Cutting off cyclist - Anzac Hwy

Another driver not allowing for a cyclist

Cutting off cyclist - (3 June incident #5)

(Note: not able to capture Registration Number)

Another case of a driver who does not consider that a bicycle is a vehicle.

.

WEM 275 – Cutting off cyclist - (3 June incident #4)

This is a common move by cars who do not consider a bicycle as a vehicle.

.

Irregular Surface and Passing Vehicles (Kerb Edge) - (3 June incident #3)

The irregular surface in a bike lane will cause damage and personal injury.

A cyclist changing direction to avoid irregular surfaces is at risk of colliding with a passing vehicle.

Drivers are also aggravated by having to drive slowly behind a cyclist who is in the way.

WARNING:
A lip or edge that runs in the line of travel will “trip” a bicycle up, throwing the rider onto the road.

Irregular Surface in Bike Lane (SIP) - (3 June incident #2)

The irregular surface in a bike lane will cause damage and personal injury.

A cyclist changing direction to avoid irregular surfaces is at risk of colliding with a passing vehicle.
