Comment on Should Cyclists Have To Obey The Same Traffic Rules As Cars? by Ross

Cyclist should be able to use red lights as stop signs and stop signs as yield signs. This helps move the flow of traffic and helps get the bicycles out of the intersection before the cars start rolling.

Here’s how our roundabouts should be designed:

I think it’s the ‘give way to vehicles behind you’ that’s the problem rather than the green paint, it’s right daft.
And yes, Mornington roundabout is a better model. The top photos in this post show the middle roundabout on Kennedy Drive, which has a similar treatment to Mornington.

Careful what you wish for! The Huntingfield / Fork in the Road roundabout shows what a dangerous mess can be made by trying to keep separation on a roundabout. The expensive green-painted route requires riders to give way at every branch to cars coming from behind them and exiting on that branch. If you are not in the traffic then need to be completely separate, so the bicycle sliplanes on the Mornington roundabout are a better model.

Good point. On a busy and fast roundabout we need continued separation.

I think the ‘merge into vehicle lane’ is OK for a small roundabout in a quietish street like in the link.
BUT I don’t think it’s suitable for a bigger busier roundabout like the airport roundabout. I don’t want to be told to merge in with vehicles doing 80k or 60k in to a roundabout when I’m riding my bike.

Yep, electric bikes are the way to go in Hobart, I reckon. My eZee Street makes short urban trips a joy!!!!
