Streets and People Get Around Cabo Carfree

Dr Jennifer Kent spoke about our communities' dependence on driving a car, implications for health, shopping, walking the dog, loneliness, social connection and simple ways you can change how we use our roads. This is one of the People & Projects series to look at what's happening around the world and closer to home.

People & Projects (P&P) are for people who are curious to hear what’s happening globally and locally. These are interviews with academics, advocates and community group leaders. 

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, on a scooter or other personal mobility device (PMD). 

Not Everyone Drives (NED) are conversations with people who don’t (or don’t like to) drive. They may have a disability, on medication, strapped for cash, too young, too old, unlicensed, they had a collision, or prefer to use their travel time not driving. This one’s for policymakers to understand the implications for their decisions.

John Burrill, former Transport & Main Roads road rules subject matter expert and Wendy Nash, founder of Get Around Cabo Carfree discuss Qld's bike riding rules 1 by 1 as listed on the ⁠⁠⁠⁠Qld government bike fines page⁠⁠⁠⁠. We hope you will learn about the road rules for bikes.

In this episode we continue to discuss the how nonsensical many of the road rules are for bikes because the legislation is for cars and retrofitted to bikes. Today it's stop and giveway signs and fines.
