Street signs around here are just there to be knocked over by motorists.
No road is ever wide enough.
No car parking is ever large enough.
Roundabouts are there to crack the edges or better drive straight over them if there isn't too much vegetation.

Motorised bikes
First they put e-bikes on the market, then it is a long wait for regulation of illegal high-powered 'motorbikes' on shared pathways and beaches.There has been "...alleged antisocial and criminal behaviour involving a group of youths riding e-bikes in the Moonee and North Sapphire Beach areas."
"The claims echo concerns being raised in communities right across the state. For many locals, the issue isn’t just legality. It’s safety on shared pathways residents once felt confident using every day." >>

Nudging drivers to share the roads with wildlife
"Motorists are being urged to slow down and stay alert for wildlife as Transport for NSW launches its annual “Animals on Country Roads” safety campaign.
"Between 2016 and 2025, 26 people were killed and more than 1,250 crashes resulted in injuries involving animals on country roads. Kangaroos were involved in the highest proportion of fatal crashes involving animals in NSW, accounting for 44 per cent of deaths over the past decade."
“Driving on country roads means sharing the road with animals that can move quickly and unpredictably...Slow down, stay alert – especially at dawn and dusk – and take note of the animal warning signs. Also look out for animals near creeks and waterholes."
"The campaign runs until 30 June, encouraging motorists to take extra care on country roads and be prepared for unexpected wildlife hazards, including reporting injured animals to WIRES on 1300 094 737." >>

The long road to a bike-friendly Australia
and the dehumanisation of cyclists* "At the rate Australian cities are building cycling networks, a cohesive system is probably decades away. What’s taking so long?
"NSW wants to double active transport trips in 20 years...But at the rate Australian cities are building cycling networks, a cohesive system is probably another 50 years away, experts speaking to The Fifth Estate warned. Progress is slow. (One bike bridge was recently installed in Melbourne after 37 years of lobbying and discussion.)"
"A 2024 report by The Australia Institute points out that less than 1 per cent of federal road funding goes to active transport infrastructure."
"Richter was one of 49 bike riders who died on Australian roads last year, up on the average of around 38 deaths per year between 2012-23. (Thousands more were hospitalised with serious injuries during that period.)." >>

Why do some motorists behave as though enforcement of traffic regulations is a threat to their personal freedom or a sign of public sector corruption? (see comments, but it's common)
'Reading yellow box fines increase by thousands in a year'

'According to the latest data, 5,883 fines were issued in 2024/25. That is more than three times the 1,638 issued in 2023/24, with 4,245 additional fines being issued in just a year.'

Dorrigo Anzac war memorial vandalised by drunken people and motorists
"The stone soldier has been through the wars of multiple vandalism attacks and a car crash."
"The rifle was damaged when a 28-year-old man climbed the war memorial, breaking off the rifle barrel, which a 24-year-old woman then put in her underwear, making lewd movements during a drinking session at the nearby hotel. Both fined by the court, the man was also ordered to pay $25,000 towards repairs."
"Since the vandalism last year, the Minns Labor government has introduced tougher penalties for intentional or reckless damage of war memorials, which can now lead to up to seven years in prison." >>

Slightly misleading - I think they mean "motor vehicle users" rather than "road users" even though they have a picture of a bicycle further down
"THE UK'S SAFEST CITIES AND TOWNS FOR ROAD-USERS | BASED ON OUR DATA ANALYSIS"
https://www.lexhaminsurance.co.uk/blog/uk-safest-cities-and-towns-for-road-users/
"So, we surveyed over 1,000 motorists (500+ being two-wheeler riders) and found that, while three-quarters (79%) feel safe on the roads, some factors jeopardise this – from road rage to night driving."

Best practice examples from the emergency services!‼️ 🚑
https://youtube.com/shorts/ZLy4bG-WvsA?is=ZLzWxY5i6UOkICKJ
I really enjoy watching these kinds of emergency response videos, whether they’re from the fire brigade, an ambulance or the police, and I’m always delighted to see German motorists making proper way for emergency vehicles with their blue lights on by forming that emergency corridor. 🤩
It’s good to know that forming an emergency corridor is an essential part of driving test training in Germany. 😃
