Sydney`s new light rail will open in December, with a 67-meter-long light rail running through George Street in central Sydney, the Sydney Morning Herald reported. From 5: 00 in the morning to 1: 00 in the morning, every four minutes. Potential conflict risks between pedestrians, bicycles and cars have been put on the agenda.
Despite good traffic conditions, the relationship between cyclists, pedestrians and motorists is worrisome. Drivers open doors or drive too close to cyclists; cyclists roar past pedestrians or deliberately ignore signs; pedestrians follow mobile phones while ignoring complicated road conditions.
At present, the police have entered the state of preparation ahead of schedule, warning passers-by at CBD on the light rail route especially not to follow the tram track and ignore the signs along the light rail line.
Cyclist regulations require
The West District Light Rail along Xi Street (Hay Street) to Chinatown (Hay Street in Haymarket) is a key management section of CBD South. New state authorities said the "no entry" sign restricts cyclists and motorists from entering light rail lines. Those who violate the ban on entering the sign are fined A $114 and cyclists entering the light rail track are fined A $268.
"as with the existing Nexi light rail rules, cyclists will not be allowed to ride bicycles in the CBD and Southeast Light Rail corridors because of the safety problems caused by sharing roads with moving light rail trams," the New State Department of Transportation said.
If cyclists enter the driveway at (George Street) George Street, they will be allowed to cross the new light rail corridor through CBD. In addition, passengers are allowed to take bicycles by light rail transit. Unless during peak hours, the staff confirms that they are unsafe.
Traffic officials warned cyclists to walk through the light rail track or ride at a certain angle to prevent the wheels from getting stuck on the track. Cyclists should also ride in foreseeable circumstances, observe traffic lights, park and make way.
Pedestrian management regulations require
New state road rules allow pedestrians to cross the road legally over 20 metres from traffic lights, meaning they will not be fined for jaywalking.
Pedestrians will be allowed to walk through the light rail on the boulevard of (George st) George Street between Bathurst Street and Hunter Street (Hunter Street) in CBD. But authorities said pedestrians could not walk into light rail tracks or follow tram tracks. Pedestrians who violate these rules are fined A $76.
The light rail project team will determine the final allocation of road space and the required regulatory signs. Sydney parliament is responsible for implementing these regulations.
Driver regulations require
The driver was fined A $268 for driving on the tram, with a deduction of 1 point. Like cyclists, the fine for breaking the no-entry sign is A $114. At the same time, drivers are prohibited from queuing at the intersection of light rail lines and roads to avoid blocking trams.
As part of the test, light rail trams are becoming more and more common. The 12.7km route from the circular wharf (Circular Quay) to (Randwick), east of Sydney, will be opened as planned, with an extension to Kingsford (Kingsford) in March next year.
The opening of the new road reminds motorists that cyclists and pedestrians will have to get used to crossing increasingly crowded spaces with each other. The opening of the Newcastle (Newcastle) light rail in February taught Sydney a lesson. In July, a 51-year-old cyclist fell off his bike while crossing the light rail downtown.
