Sub-optimal outcomes for intersections must be stopped

Good news or bad news? Minimum Passing Distance Legislation in Victoria: on this weeks show, Chris talks to Jenica Brooke from Melbourne Commuter about last weeks recommendments from the Victorian governments Economic and Infrastructure Committee about the Road Safety Road Rules 2009 (Overtaking Bicycles) Bill 2015. We discuss problematic implications of flawed recommendations for intersections, riding two abreast and other proposed “solutions” to apparently perceived issues by committee members that could undermine the whole point of minimum passing distance legislation. Bicycle news includes local council elections in October, Australian Cyclist Party fielding a candidate in Yarra Council, supporting the Lightening Furies pozible campaign and The Triplets of Belleville soundtrack live at next months Melbourne Festival by Le Terrible Orchestre de Belleville with Benoît Charest.
