This behaviour occurs regularly at this location. I do not use the adjacent cycleway because drivers frequently fail to comply with the road rules at the raised crossings and attempt similar manoeuvres when I am crossing there.&#13;

I know it's a narrow road, but this is a pretty regular occurrence and it would be a terrible accident if/when someone is coming the other way. &#13;
Any advice on how to highlight this issue and has anyone else had the same happen to them?&#13;
Oh and after the car passed me and returned the left lane (well over the hill), they put on their hazards  to signify their apparent annoyance at me for.... riding a bike? When we stopped at the lights in Newtown, I pulled up next to their window to explain how dangerous it was to overtake on a blind summit (calmly as had my kids with me!). They refused to look at me and instead took out their phone to attempt to take a photo of me and my two children. Eugh.</field_comments><field_location>-41.321328640515, 174.78041099789</field_location><field_type>Bicycle</field_type><field_situation>Problematic pass  (usually too close)</field_situation></item><item key="26"><title>646</title><field_date>2024-01-29T17:05:00</field_date><field_comments>On 29th January, about 5pm, a car driver cut the corner descending on Ohiro Road, just before the turnoff to Brooklyn Road, forcing me over the curb and off my ebike, resulting in severe bruising on my upper right thigh (where the bike frame fell on my leg) and the loss of a hunk of skin from my right elbow. &#13;
&#13;
 The driver had passed me a few seconds before, and did not stop after the incident. He had clearly seen me when he drew up alongside me, but appeared unaware of what he did to me. Three drivers waiting on the uphill side of Ohiro Road left their cars to ask me if I was ok, stating that they had seen the whole incident. Unfortunately, I didnt ask them for their details, or whether they had noted the license number of the car. I returned home and was driven to the after hours surgery. &#13;
&#13;
My bruise is slowly subsiding, and my elbow is regrowing the skin, with regular changes of bandages. &#13;
&#13;
 This is a dangerous corner. A pedestrian island has been provided. Descending vehicles are often travelling too fast and will cut the corner to avoid going on the other side of Ohiro road and hitting upcoming traffic.  &#13;
&#13;
I propose that Council make a safety review of the Brooklyn/Ohiro Raod corner, and consider placing a sign just below the crest of ohiro road on the western side with wording something along the lines - &#x201C;Slow down, watch for cyclists&#x201D;. The 30km/hr speed limit close to Brooklyn shops should also be extended until after Brooklyn road is reached. &#13;
&#13;
I possibly could have avoided the accident by giving appropriate hand signals and taking the lane for that section of Ohiro road prior to the corner, or slowing right down to let the car get ahead of me when it drew up alongside me.  However, this is in hindsight, and there may be some other measures such as I suggested above that will help avoid future accidents. &#13;
&#13;
Thus I am requesting that a safety review be carried out of the Ohiro/Brooklyn road intersection. &#13;
I am also submitting a road watch report with police</field_comments><field_location>-41.302797794267, 174.7641661914</field_location><field_type>Bicycle</field_type><field_situation>Road user turns across cyclist&#x2019;s path</field_situation></item><item key="27"><title>645</title><field_date>2024-01-24T08:37:14</field_date><field_comments>A car parked outside the dairy blocking the lane to cars and bikes.

I was in the new cycle path and took off when the light went green, at the same time as the #23 bus. Usually a merge is quite smooth with cars but because a bus is so much longer and the bike in front of me was slow I got caught behind the cyclist and between the bus and the parked cars in front of Newtown school. I tried to keep riding to get infront of the bus but I don't think he saw me, and perhaps was focusing on the slightly wobbly and slow cyclist in front of me. I stopped cycling because I was being squeezed so much that I could feel the parked car against my left leg and the moving bus sliding past my right leg. It was incredibly scary! the pedestrian who was waiting at the lights in front of Cafe Laz also acknowledged the situation.&#13;
&#13;
I would recommend 2 controls to mitigate this issue:&#13;
&#13;
1. Install a bike light at the traffic light to allow cyclists a head start. Because the bike lane turns into a car park space, cyclists have no where to go when the light is green.&#13;
2. Remove the car parks in front of Newtown school to extend the bike lane so merging is not required</field_comments><field_location>-41.311650067864, 174.7793151625</field_location><field_type>Bicycle</field_type><field_situation>Problematic pass  (usually too close)</field_situation></item><item key="53"><title>619</title><field_date>2022-10-04T12:42:57</field_date><field_comments>Aged person walked straight into glass-walled bus stop, which has no edge warning tape and sticks out into the footpath.

A car attempted to back out of angle parking space  between the bus stop on the Parade near shops/ Medway street and backed into a car travelling past the Medway street intersection, travelling North. Both were at low speeds due to the amount of traffic. &#13;

&#13;
I was walking along the path signed as Adderstone Walkway, through the Adderstone Reserve. A young man on a mountain bike came around a curve towards me, quite fast. I stood my ground, and there was no room on the path for him to pass, so he had to swerve off the path to avoid hitting me. He was verbally aggressive towards me when I  told him I didn't think this was a shared path.&#13;
&#13;
I contacted Palmerston North City Council, and was told that this path is considered by Council to be a shared pathway, along with the others which make up the Turitea walkway through the suburbs and patches of bush in this area. I looked at the Road Code on the New Zealand Transport Authority website, and found that cyclists are instructed not to ride on footpaths, unless it is signed as a shared cycle/walking path. There is nothing on the Adderstone Walkway to indicate that it is a shared pathway. It seems ridiculous to me that these tracks would be designated shared pathways.  Most of them are inaccessible or impractical for cycling simply because there are lots of stairs. The Adderstone Walkway is accessible to bikes, but doesn't seem suitable to share with walkers; it's not wide enough, it's winding, and the surface is gravel.&#13;
&#13;
The wooden sign at the Pacific Drive end of Adderstone Reserve has a couple of stickers on it, one indicating no motorcycles, and one indicating no horses. The stickers are in shallow square recesses in the sign, and there are also about three more of these recesses on the sign; it looks like there were more stickers on the sign in the past, but some have been removed. The "no motorcycles" one has also been partly peeled off. This makes me wonder if there was a "no bicycles" sign on there at some point.&#13;
&#13;
I got the impression the people at my local Council offices might just be confused about what is a shared pathway and what isn't, and didn't want to deal with my queries. When I replied to their initial email with the concerns above, I got no reply.</field_comments><field_location>-40.38926281351, 175.6439777</field_location><field_type>Pedestrian</field_type><field_situation></field_situation></item><item key="273"><title>399</title><field_date>2020-03-11T08:40:40</field_date><field_comments>Car transporter parked in moving vehicle lane at peak traffic time, causing cars to merge to one lane, almost bumped by car when I was overtaking (stationary) car transporter.</field_comments><field_location>-41.298071688719, 174.78143690833</field_location><field_type>Bicycle</field_type><field_situation>Other (please add information in the textarea below)</field_situation></item><item key="274"><title>398</title><field_date>2019-12-20T08:27:07</field_date><field_comments>Truck drove on footpath while turning, I had a quickly back my front wheel for not being hit</field_comments><field_location>-37.665431298919, 176.18720431747</field_location><field_type>Bicycle</field_type><field_situation>Other (please add information in the textarea below)</field_situation></item><item key="275"><title>397</title><field_date>2017-04-11T06:05:00</field_date><field_comments>Car driving without lights almost rear ended me, car driver was an agitated old woman </field_comments><field_location>-36.761299063357, 174.70681749835</field_location><field_type>Bicycle</field_type><field_situation>Other (please add information in the textarea below)</field_situation></item><item key="276"><title>396</title><field_date>2020-02-27T14:40:00</field_date><field_comments>Car on Greenhithe Rd turned in front of me when I was cycling along Upper Harbour Dr there was almost a collision</field_comments><field_location>-36.770521129426, 174.69546137688</field_location><field_type>Bicycle</field_type><field_situation>Road user turns across cyclist&#x2019;s path</field_situation></item><item key="277"><title>395</title><field_date>2020-03-10T21:52:00</field_date><field_comments>I went to cross the road at the traffic lights, it was my turn to go the green man had just come up and a bus went through while I had a green man and nearly hit me </field_comments><field_location>-39.934839793826, 175.05537127994</field_location><field_type>Pedestrian</field_type><field_situation></field_situation></item><item key="278"><title>394</title><field_date>2020-03-08T12:45:00</field_date><field_comments>A truck driver attempted to overtake me by driving across the other lane and around a blind corner, which nearly resulted in a head-on collision.</field_comments><field_location>-41.286028460944, 174.80348954298</field_location><field_type>Bicycle</field_type><field_situation>Problematic pass  (usually too close)</field_situation></item><item key="279"><title>393</title><field_date>2020-03-10T07:00:00</field_date><field_comments>A uber was at the dairy facing north on Newlands Rd.

Today (and many other mornings, but Mondays appear to be worse):  I am indicating right for about 40m before the intersection. Two motorists choose to overtake in the middle of the intersection, across the white lines.

Riding south, it's a two lane road. The right hand lane turns into a turning only lane into South Road. Locals know this and pick their lane early, visitors are totally surprised and flabbergasted: and act accordingly. As a cyclist, riding on the left of the left hand lane in order to meet expectations to be on the left means a relatively dangerous crossing maneuver to end up in the turning lane.&#13;
Today, because traffic was heavy, I slipped into the turning lane a little earlier than usual, approx. where indicated and in the last few tens of meters before the turn was overtaken on the left and right simultaneously. Needless to say, that is scary. &#13;
&#13;
I don't know why motor vehicle drivers are in such a hurry to not have a few seconds to give a cyclist a bit of room. &#13;

-----------------

Elderly driver of White 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe seems to not be familiar with how to give way at a roundabout, nor how to safely overtake cyclists without intimidation over a zebra crossing.

Lots of nice hand gestures as he passed - he did seem very angry.

I think he took exception to me asserting my right of way over the roundabout, and I assume then expected me to stop so he could overtake? Puzzling, aggressive and unskilled driving.]]></field_comments><field_location>-41.134052734272, 174.84149948176</field_location><field_type>Bicycle</field_type><field_situation>Vehicle pulls out or across cyclist</field_situation></item><item key="421"><title>236</title><field_date>2020-01-21T18:00:00</field_date><field_comments>driver in front emergency stopped to avoid a bus driver driving on the wrong side of the road. &#13;

Car squeezes past me and does a left hook into Campbell Rd. Apparently it was my fault for not indicating and riding in the middle of the road. Apart from the fact that I was legally "taking the lane" and that you are not meant to signal when going straight at a roundabout, only at the exit. I advised her to read the road code.</field_comments><field_location>-36.908747879988, 174.78345763859</field_location><field_type>Bicycle</field_type><field_situation>Road user turns across cyclist&#x2019;s path</field_situation></item><item key="451"><title>202</title><field_date>2020-01-06T16:30:00</field_date><field_comments>Car attempted to turn left into Davis Street, which was a closed road.
