Main Roads Western Australia has published two guides for cyclists: this guide on sharing the path and a second guide for cyclists and motorists on sharing the road. The guide, Share the Path: A Guide for Pedestrians and Bicycle Riders is targeted at both cyclists and pedestrians with the aim of informing both users about good practice and the law. All cyclists and pedestrians are encouraged to read the guide.

To encourage good behaviours on our shared paths the guide reminds pedestrians to …

be Visible

Keep to the left

be Predictable

be Vigilant

Listen

and cyclists are reminded that

Pedestrians have right of way

to slow down around walkers

around walkers to ring your bell

to give room

to avoid riding in groups as you may not be able to see clearer ahead

Overall all good advice in my view and I think that Main Roads Western Australia has done a good job with the guide. They have kept it to two pages, to the point and easy to understand. All we need now is for cyclists AND pedestrians to do the right thing. It takes two to tangle.
