Jesse<p>After much campaigning this yellow sign was removed from the corner of Dynon Rd/Sims St. It's dangerous because it blocks sight lines between motorists turning here and the cyclists crossing here.</p><p>The sign returned a month or so ago, it was placed higher up to not block the sight lines.</p><p>A few weeks ago they added this blue sign so that it blocks the sight lines again.</p><p>I'm truly baffled at the systemic failure.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/VicRoads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VicRoads</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DynonRd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DynonRd</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/DieOnRoad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DieOnRoad</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>melbourne</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/bicycles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bicycles</span></a></p>
Jesse<p>"...most intersection are unsafe to have an automatic green man, as pedestrians j-walk and it creates a dangerous situation with possible filtered right turners. A scenario where people see a green man and run to cross the road creates one of the most dangerous situations, with regards to left and right turners.</p><p>Studies conducted by VicRoads and the Australian Road Research Board have proven the safety issues with the above."</p><p>I contacted VicRoads to ask about making a pointless pedestrian crossing green automatically when it's safe to cross and their response was very telling.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Melbourne</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/VicPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VicPol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/VicRoads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VicRoads</span></a></p>
Jesse<p>I'm looking through VicRoads' list of current road projects. There is clearly a push for safety improvements for active transport, but the designs VicRoads come up with are pretty disappointing.</p><p>Here they are spending a huge about of money to install 18 electronic speed signs so that the few people driving along St Georges Rd between 10pm and 7am can drive slightly faster decreasing their travel time by pretty much nothing.</p><p>Of course this means that the road won't be able to be modified to enforce the lower speed limit. <br>So motorists will speed.</p><p><a href="https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/planning-and-projects/melbourne-road-projects/st-georges-road-and-brunswick-street-safer-speed-limit" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">vicroads.vic.gov.au/planning-a</span><span class="invisible">nd-projects/melbourne-road-projects/st-georges-road-and-brunswick-street-safer-speed-limit</span></a></p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Melbourne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Melbourne</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/RoadSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RoadSafety</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/VicRoads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VicRoads</span></a></p>
