Comment:- Believe it or not - if you are cycling or walking alone, you are probably safer travelling on the road. These criminals work in numbers and attack people who are travelling alone, day or night, in more secluded places such as the foot path. Open spaces are safer and this is why road shoulders and bike lanes provide safe facilities for cyclists and pedestrians. For safety to be effective, bike lanes need to be constructed at the standard width, ie 1.5 m at 60 kmh, according to AUSTROADS Guide to Traffic Engineering Practices Part 14 Bicycles 1999.
