What is a “Shared Path”?

A shared path is a footpath shared by pedestrians and bike riders. Pedestrians have the right of way on shared paths and bike riders should slow down and use their bell to warn pedestrians of their approach.

The City has a comprehensive Share the Path campaign designed to educate bike riders on how to use shared paths safely and courteously. Our staff are out on site four times a week and always conduct education at new shared paths.

Shared path pavement markingsThe City use distinctive signs, symbols and markings developed to improve safety on shared paths. The markings have been designed to raise user awareness and reduce potential risks.

The markings are used at bus stops, driveways and other locations where bike riders should slow down.

Concept DesignBourke Street - Driveway Treatment

REVISED CONCEPT NOVEMBER 2013

Bus Stop Treatment

The City is proposing a new design for the bus stops along the shared path route.

This includes:

• New ‘slimline’ bus shelters providing clearer sightlines, so bike riders and pedestrians can clearly see each other. It provides a minimum two metre wide path behind the bus shelter.

• New paving around the bus shelter to remind bike riders to slow down and give way to pedestrians.

• New tactile indicators around bus shelters for improved accessibility.

• Consolidation of the street furniture and verge planting zone to a 1.1 metre width. This will provide a 2.5 metre wide path for pedestrians and bike riders to safely pass.

• New verge planting and paving to improve street amenity.

Driveway Treatment

The City is proposing a new design for driveways currently providing poor sightlines for vehicles entering and exiting.

This includes:

• New paving at driveways to prioritise pedestrian movements.

• Consolidation of the street furniture and verge planting zone to a 1.1 metre width. This will provide a minimum 2.5 metre wide path for pedestrians and bike riders to safely pass.

• New verge planting and paving to improve street amenity.
