I ride a bike, but will never use an onroad cycle lane. I also drive and see how ACT driver are.

The best driving I have witnessed in the ACT is when drivers have to traverse these green strips of death..I note most drivers are extremely cautious especially the busy morning left turn off over the Commonwealth ave bridge near the Nat Library/ Treasury.

I reckon on-road bike lanes would be adequate and less costly for Majura

If Majura is built to freeway standard (which it ought to be considering the cost) then on-road cycling would be a dangerous prospect, especially given the road is a primary freight route.

No more so than the Fed.

That won’t appease the motorists. Additional road width should be for extra lanes, foo’!

😀 Of course, how could I have been so thoughtless?

Build wide shoulder on-road bikes lanes in rural districts where recreational cyclists and long-distance commuters can ride at good speed.
