Streets and People

John Burrill, former Transport & Main Roads road rules subject matter expert and Wendy Nash, founder of Get Around Cabo Carfree discuss Qld's bike riding rules 1 by 1 as listed on the ⁠⁠⁠Qld government bike fines page⁠⁠⁠. We hope you will learn about the road rules for bikes.

In this episode we discuss the how nonsensical many of the road rules are for bikes because the legislation is for cars and retrofitted to bikes. Today it's level crossings, mobile phone use and roundabouts.

Road Rules 360 (RR360) cohosted with John Burrill, former TMR subject matter expert for Qld’s road rules. We discuss the road rules for people riding a bike, walking, in a wheelchair or on a scooter or other personal mobility device (PMD). 

Not Everyone Drives (NED) are conversations with people who don’t drive for any reason. They may have a disability, be on medication, strapped for cash, too young, too old, unlicensed, they had a collision or want to do something else than drive everywhere. This one’s for policymakers to understand the implications for their decisions. 

People & Projects (P&P) are for transport advocates and people who are curious to hear what’s happening globally and locally. These are interviews with academics, advocates and community group leaders. 

Please bear with us as we get the hang of podcasting.

Trigger warning. We discuss the impact of car collisions between 24m35s and 25m12s. If this might upset you and you're unable to stop and skip the 30s when we discuss this, come back to it another time. It's not a graphic description but it is blunt.
