These speeds are shocking, but the underlying issue of speed being a contributory factor in a lot of road violence is that roads here are deliberately designed to cater for a speed of 10km/h above the posted limit. It’s a policy standard. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Station car parks are full early in the morning. Expanding them is incredibly expensive and never meets demand. Vastly improving feeder buses, walking and cycling options is a better, more affordable, more scalable way of getting people to the station.

Spoiler alert, it won't be the parking, actually, and there is no such thing as a "war on parking", just ask @brenttoderian.bsky.social But if they are "ripping out car parks to put in bike lanes" then the place is already on the way up. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

The real community objection should be why it hadn’t already been built and why there aren’t more of them being delivered already. People who use parking as an argument against residential development are just reflecting the selfish nature of driving itself.

We tend to get these linear, corridor long shared paths right here in Perth. Example at Midland. Where we fall down are the secondary connections linking places and then creating nicer spaces. We need to get that part right.

There is so much Singapore gets right from a city transportation perspective. This is not one. Taking over pedestrian space to have a disjointed, poorly laid out and connected “shared path” is a fudge when there is 20m of bitumen next to it which could have been used for proper infrastructure.
