About this event
AITPM welcomes Cycling and Walking Australia and New Zealand (CWANZ) for this webinar.
CWANZ formed the Design Innovations Working Group which has undertaken a range of research activities. This webinar will share the outcomes of the research.
Guest presenters:
- Dr Fay Patterson | Bike Adelaide
- Peter Kartsidimas | Director Networks and Planning, Infrastructure Victoria
- Dick van den Dool | Director, Barros van den DOOL Active Transport
The Design Innovations Working Group has undertaken a range of research activities including:
#1. The use of one-way contraflow bike lanes
Under the Australian Road Rules, cyclists can be exempted from one-way travel restrictions through the provision of a “Bicycles Excepted” sub-plate. This can accompany provision of a contraflow bicycle lane, but the Australian Road Rules do not specify that a bicycle lane must be provided. Overseas evidence indicates that allowing two-way cycling in one-way streets without a contraflow bicycle lane can improve cyclist safety. This applies in streets where the traffic environment (low speed, low volume) presents a low risk. In such streets, contraflow provides cyclists with alternatives to busy roads, and by encouraging them to use the road pavement also reduces footpath conflicts with pedestrians. Our research highlights the potential use of cyclist contraflow in quiet streets without provision of a contraflow bicycle lane, by presenting best practice technical advice not documented in other Australian literature.
#2. Safer speeds
A number of case studies were identified across Australia and New Zealand where there has been speed reduction implemented in high active transport areas. The known outcomes of these case studies will help inform agencies as they consider any safer speed environments within their jurisdiction.
#3. Banana deflection rails
It is recognised that physical barriers are often necessary to prevent access by unauthorised vehicles to parkland or infrastructure such as bridges and paths. The barriers prevent vehicles from causing damage to infrastructure, utilities (e.g. irrigation and drainage) and protects paths for intended users. However, barriers placed at the termination of paths, on bridge approaches and at property boundaries can present a danger to cyclists and pedestrians if not carefully designed and sited. There is documented evidence of serious harm to path users, including death.
In undertaking this review, consideration was given to the Traffic and Road Use Management Volume 1–Guide to Traffic Management Part 6: Intersections, Interchanges and Crossings (2020) prepared by the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, and Municipal Infrastructure Standards 05 – Active Travel Facilities Design, prepared by Transport Canberra City Services.

Dr Fay Patterson | Bike Adelaide
Dr Fay Patterson is a traffic engineer who has specialised in active transport for over 25 years. She has been awarded both an Excellence Award and the Janet Brash Memorial Prize by the Australian Institute of Traffic Planning and Management for her work. A serial innovator, she is responsible for innovative cycling infrastructure designs around Adelaide, designed Australia’s first heavy vehicle inspection station with a virtual checking lane, and was an invited speaker at The Things Network’s 2019 Asia Pacific conference regarding addressing drainage using the Internet of Things to create a ‘virtual dam’.
Fay stepped back from consulting in traffic engineering to undertake a PhD focused on barriers to improving road safety, which delivered new information on cyclist safety at roundabouts and has arguably solved the problem of applying Extreme Value Theory in Traffic Conflicts Technique – a breakthrough that could allow TCT to be properly operationalised for the first time since its conception some seventy years ago.
From 2018-2022, Fay served as a local Councillor. She currently writes science fiction under the pen name Fay Lee and contributes to the active transport field through involvement in volunteer organisations such as Walking SA, the Active Living Coalition and CWANZ’s Innovations Working Group.
