    That’s why we call those type of “bike lanes” a murder strip.

    Have them where I live too.

      All around Vic, too. They generally don’t even put in a bike lane, just say “use the emergency lane”. Here’s a sequence of images for one on the freeway in to Melbourne from Ballarat, starting from the onramp:

      Onramp with sign declaring bicycles permitted on this freeway

      Further along the onramp, sign saying to form 1 lane

      also on the onramp, yellow diamond sign with bicycle symbol

      sign beside the now-merging lane directing cyclists to ride on the shoulder

      sign at the end of the merge, 110 speed limit.

      This whole stretch of freeway is 110 km/h (70mph). There are skid marks where vehicles have bailed out of a failing 110km/h merge.

      The shoulder is the emergency lane. It’s where drivers pull over into if there’s an unavoidable hazard ahead or their brakes are failing or something.

        There used to be a sign “helping” cyclists already on the freeway by telling them “cross here with care”:

        sign directing cyclists on the freeway to cross the merging lane at a slightly safer location

        But it was obliterated by a vehicle:

        same sign, obliterated by a vehicle

          I was looking to find the mangled remains of a cycle embedded in the turf just off the side of one of those images.

        took a lot of training and tests to qualify to drive on roads

        Those tests are stupidly easy

            Point is having a drivers license does not mean very much about whether you are competent at driving.

                Lol. Having a US driving license means you might be qualified to safely ride a tricycle on a training course.

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

  • to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn’t choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don’t use slurs. You can laugh at someone’s fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don’t post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn’t a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
