I ran into something like this in my younger days. I just dragged it over into the car lane.
Surely it should be in the lane to the right. It’s for the cars after all
Being on a bike makes you closer to fulfilling your impulses. You can get off your bike, and toss that road sign off the street into the grass where it belongs.
I see a car parked in the bike lane up ahead too.
I mean, it might be driving in the bike lane.
I would 100% drag that out into the road to block the car lane.
This is the most Perth, Western Australia, photo iv’e ever seen. Someone validate me please
Looking at the number plate, I would say this is somewhere in NSW.
As a clueless European, I always first read this acronym as “north south west”.
There’s a trailer plate on the sign as well that looks NSW to me.
I think this pretty well describes most places in Australia, sadly. Things are, decent, in Melbourne, but I’d still never recommend it as a mode of travel unless someone lives near the bike infrastructure. Australia is still car centric, sadly.
I do still love using the infrastructure that does exist, regardless.

Yep, this seems about right.
It’s like a joke by this point.
I ride on a stretch of road that has a bike lane that transitions (squeezes cyclists) onto a narrow road with no shoulder and poor quality surface. Even the sidewalk ends at this transition, forcing pedestrians onto the road.
This transition happens on an incline, so anyone on foot or bike will be going slower. Naturally, this seems to piss off drivers as if you’ve insulted their mother.
I always laugh, swear, and shake my head at the “share the road” sign at this section, as if it’s been put there as a big FU to anyone not in a motor vehicle.
The municipalities that do this sort of thing really have no idea what cycling or walking alongside aggressive SUV drivers, who refuse to share the road, is like.
Even with that massive sign in the way there’s still way more room for bikes in this pic than there is anywhere near me. Most places are under 10cm, many are 0-3cm. High speed limits too. Yeah nobody even tries biking here.
Wdym, under 10cm? That can’t be right, can it?
If you mean a line that close to the sidewalk, that’s usually an indicator whether parking is allowed.
No, just one lane each direction, people driving 80+km, a line on the side, then 2cm over it’s a ditch. Lots of heavy construction and landscaping trucks on the road too. We don’t have sidewalks. You can’t ride bikes here.
I ride almost everywhere, but that does sound quite risky. Plenty of spots like that in the US as well when you’re in the countryside, unfortunately.
The US countryside isn’t nearly as dangerous as the outskirts of US cities. That’s where I drive. I wish I could bike it. Too many memorial bicycles on the sides of the road.
It’s tough everywhere I guess. Countryside is quiet, but there’s no shoulder in some curvy spots, and some drivers didn’t want to wait to pass.
A sign to kill cyclists.
