Bruce et al,
I agree it appears utterly dumb, but before you go in all heavy handed,
is it clear that a cyclist would have to walk across this stretch? If
so it's clearly unacceptable. Why not just ask MRWA what it's meant to
mean (as Richard suggested)?
Maybe it's just indicating that the dual use path officially ends for
some reason before the ped xing? Who's to say from the sign that either
pedestrians or cyclists are not meant to proceed any further?
Remembers the Kwinana fwy used to "end" in several places to have
traffic lights, before they built overpasses? (It was kinda quaint).
Kind regards,
Henry Sheil

There is a final option: A writ of "mandamus" (excuse my Latin).
Basically it's a writ that forces the appropriate authority to "do it's
duty". From what I've heard just starting the process is enough to get
most councils moving.
It may not be appropriate in this case but if for instance the signage
does not follow the required standards or the council is failing to
comply with documented policies or fail to discharge their duty ( duty
of care etc ) in some other way then it may be just the thing you need.
:-)
Any lawyers on the list willing to do one of these at no charge?

I was disappointed to see that along the path an "end path" sign is
erected just before a pedestrian ramp and re-starts about twenty or
so metres later. It appears the intention is that cyclists have to
dismount at this point and walk until the shared path re-commences.

Anyone point me in the right direction? and anyone have suggestions
