Auckland Bikelanes - Shakey, Fading Future

There's nothing like a good clear bike lane when you're out cycling. Strong white lines. Good strong signage. No doubt where you stand, or where you cycle...

But sometimes the message is less clear.You feel maybe you're on shakey ground. The rules have changed a bit but no-one's quite sure how or why... Looks like the only thing that's really changed is the sign-writer's stencil...

Here's another way of solving that particular sign-writing problem. Why use one when two will do?

... might be better to keep them a bit further apart...

...these pictures were taken in Lake Road Devonport, and round the corner into Ngataringa Road...

... what does our street signage say about us? About our priorities...

These white lines were painted just before Christmas. But the cycle signs have been left to fade. Hope that's not a sign of a change in cycle policy...
