l appreciate the proposal and intent to rectify this life critical hazard. the need to get off the road and make way for people who regard their right of way to be the same as an emergency vehicle complete with flashing lights is sometimes essential. this particular little bit of infrastructure is a good way to avoid the bricks on the road in harris park (marion st) and the lack of road to effect a hook turn or even the narrow exit from cowper st and entrance to valentine st are not confidence inspiring in times of heavy traffic or when virtually deserted. the pedestrian lights towards the great western highway is also a place l would not recommend trying to exit the road or effect a hook turn. to try and effect a right turn at church st is also not good? turning right at station st from parkes st is an option but then you are sharing a bus 'transit way' and as you turn into the under the railway bridge pedestrian area from darcy st you have to do a blind 'flip flop' risking a collision with pedestrians who are crossing against the lights. a bicycle lane on macquarie st between pitt st and o'connel st entering the park is a thought for my route. which l am unsure as to when l can even straddle a bicycle again.

thanks for the highlight paint. it should be visible from all directions at all times now
