- 6472024-03-05T08:35:37This morning while riding my ebike with my two children (aged 9 and 6), I once again had a car accelerate aggressively and go completely on the other side of the road to overtake on Russell Terrace, as they drive to the top of the hill and over the blind summit on the junction with Herald St. It would only take a car driving south and it would either be a terrible head-on crash OR, as I suspect, the overtaking car would veer left to take out me and my kids riding on my bike.
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.
Any advice on how to highlight this issue and has anyone else had the same happen to them?
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.-41.321328640515, 174.78041099789BicycleProblematic pass (usually too close)
- 6462024-01-29T17:05:00On 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.
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.
My bruise is slowly subsiding, and my elbow is regrowing the skin, with regular changes of bandages.
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.
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 - “Slow down, watch for cyclists”. The 30km/hr speed limit close to Brooklyn shops should also be extended until after Brooklyn road is reached.
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.
Thus I am requesting that a safety review be carried out of the Ohiro/Brooklyn road intersection.
I am also submitting a road watch report with police-41.302797794267, 174.7641661914BicycleRoad user turns across cyclist’s path

- 6202022-10-13T17:20:34I took off at the intersection by the hospital going south. 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.
I would recommend 2 controls to mitigate this issue:
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.
2. Remove the car parks in front of Newtown school to extend the bike lane so merging is not required-41.311650067864, 174.7793151625BicycleProblematic pass (usually too close)

- 5592021-06-09T19:05:00This is an incident I witnessed (as a pedestrian) but was not involved in.
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.
After the accident, the car travelling north attempted to stop to talk to reversing driver but decided to just stop in the traffic flow (but as far left as she could) and put hazard lights on. This meant that traffic behind (including at least 3 cyclists) was required to pull into the opposite Yu traffic lane to pass at this busy street. -41.334579353208, 174.77334665567Car

- 4002017-04-25T16:34:34The date of this incident is 25 April 2017; I couldn't type this date into the box above. (amended)
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.
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.
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.
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.-40.38926281351, 175.6439777Pedestrian

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. This is problematic because they take my right of way in the worst possible way (from behind!), but they also cannot see oncoming traffic very well.

- 2742020-01-27T16:11:50This is part of the official southbound cycle route (avoiding the motor way) and it's a terrible spot. 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.
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.
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.
This intersection needs some attention, especially because it's part of the official way out of town for bikes.-45.886720034903, 170.49666343074BicycleProblematic pass (usually too close)
