It’s better parked than most cars I’ve seen along there, with room to get past without any fear of being doored. It’s not ideal but I give it a pass.

It’s not legally a bike lane either because it isn’t marked correctly (a painted white bike symbol isn’t enough), but regardless, any bike lane that allows parking is a bike lane in name only.

All of the LNP minions are saying it now

I’m so screwed. 6 times in the last 5 minutes.

Ugh. Might need to turn this into a drinking game to make it through this meeting.

Wow that sign is extra ridiculous. I think most people would struggle to read it standing right in front of it let alone driving past.

s316 does give a lot of leeway e.g.

(b) the sign has additional information on or with it; or

(e) the sign is combined on a single panel with 1 or more other traffic signs; or

The point where it becomes substantially different is pretty subjective, which IMO shouldn’t be a thing when you’re talking about road rules, but it’s sadly not the only example.

Signs that have a “reasonable likeness” to standard signs are covered under s316: https://www.legislation.qld.gov.au/view/html/inforce/current/sl-2009-0194#sec.316

Number in a red circle is likely enough for it to be considered official, but yeah I would like to see it challenged.

I’d really like to see the speeding fines formally challenged in some way. You hear stories from cyclists that they or their mates have had them overturned, but I haven’t seen any actual evidence of this. Maybe it’s the case that police just choose not to proceed when the fines are challenged, and avoid setting a formal precedent in the courts.

It would also be interesting if this specific case was challenged. Like you say, it sounds like the 10km/h is supposed to be advisory, but the sign they have used is a regulatory sign which can be enforced by a literal reading of the rules. Not sure if it would hold up in court, and might come down to the judge’s attitude towards cyclists.

Fox got blocked after that :)

I’ve ridden with Mark Bailey before and he rides FAST. His PR for the Goodwill Bridge is 44km/h with 33 km/h average, and consistently well above 20km/h average for most of his rides. I don’t think you can wave all that away as a GPS glitch.
