S1E32 RR360 Listener Question. Adam asks 2 questions: Q1 road rules inconsistency for scooters, bikes, pedestrians Q2 parking spaces
from Streets and People · host Get Around Caboolture
In today's episode, hosts Wendy and John dive into a listener's query about road rules, specifically focusing on the legality of riding e-scooters on 60 km/h roads without footpaths in Queensland. The conversation covers John's extensive experience at TMR and redesigning Queensland driving tests. They elaborate on the implications of road centre lines, speed limits, and parking regulations. Adam, the listener, highlights inconsistencies in laws regarding pedestrian safety and scooter use on residential roads. They also discuss parking rules and the impacts of large vehicles on parking spaces. The episode emphasises the complexities and apparent biases within road rules and planning regulations, urging a call to address these discrepancies. You're welcome to send us your question about Qld road rules for bikes, pedestrians, wheelchairs and scooters. John Burrill, former Transport & Main Roads road rules subject matter expert and Wendy Nash, founder of Get Around Cabo Carfree discuss this question through a Qld's road rules lens. 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. www.GetAroundCaboCarfree.com.au Artwork by Chris Woodard
