#VicRoads #Auspol #SimplifyingThingsOneComplicationAtATime
#JustWhingeing #StuckInTheLandOfShouldtime to pay my motor reg — there are no BPay details on the notice, i must, apparently,
— have/ use mastercard or visa (i don’t “do” phone calls easily, but can i even pay this by phone?) or…
— use the vic roads appEDIT actually prefer to transfer money by direct credit online than to put yet one more bloody visa number “out there”, so the visa requirement is even more ridiculous from a security viewpoint
there is a lot of guff on the app about how much vic riads cares about my privacy, and how secure the app is.
and some other stuff about digital driver’s licences
and a whole lot of stuff about QR codes 🙄i only know enough about IT to know not to trust links of any description, or QR codes
the less i understand about change, and the more i understand about how performatively clueless some (#NotAll) IT people are, the more frightened/frustrated i become
why do i resent vic roads pushing me to use a phone app to pay my rego? because they want me to accept their assurances about my data privacy, and accept terms and conditions that are a bit too “our bad so sad” for my liking.
our phone numbers are fast becoming our identity card, as well as essential to security in banking etc.
i once had a(n expensive) windows phone die on me for no discernible reason, while i was miles from home, and it took me six weeks to resolve issues while retaining control of my own phone number. luckily (i had the cash to buy an apple phone to try and work my way thru the nightmare.)(this is why i keep a little paper book of codes instead of relying on any kind of software to keep passcodes safe — cos the foolproof back up system failed)

Weirdly they also have a section called 'Cyclist Priority' which can be summed up as "can ride a bicycle some places"

After much campaigning this yellow sign was removed from the corner of Dynon Rd/Sims St. It's dangerous because it blocks sight lines between motorists turning here and the cyclists crossing here.
The sign returned a month or so ago, it was placed higher up to not block the sight lines.
A few weeks ago they added this blue sign so that it blocks the sight lines again.
I'm truly baffled at the systemic failure.

"...most intersection are unsafe to have an automatic green man, as pedestrians j-walk and it creates a dangerous situation with possible filtered right turners. A scenario where people see a green man and run to cross the road creates one of the most dangerous situations, with regards to left and right turners.
Studies conducted by VicRoads and the Australian Road Research Board have proven the safety issues with the above."
I contacted VicRoads to ask about making a pointless pedestrian crossing green automatically when it's safe to cross and their response was very telling.

@augustusbrown excellent. Much better than the exposed fwd bike box and left turn combo that #VicRoads so often implements -- cyclists who stop in the box risk being driven over when arrow goes green. When queried, The #VicRoads reply was "While this arrangement may does present a potential minor operational issue, VicRoads does not consider this to be a safety issue"
