Leake Street and May Street BIKE BOULEVARD
A Safe Active Streets Initiative
Bike boulevards are designed to create safe and comfortable riding environments for bike riders with all levels of experience. They are located on quiet local streets with low traffic volumes and speeds.
When entering a bike boulevard, blue-and-white Safe Active Street road patches, 30 km/h speed limit signs and raised platforms help to slow traffic and alert people that they are in a bicycle and pedestrian friendly space.
The following diagrams show a number of situations where car drivers and bike riders on the bike boulevard will need to share the road safely.
Side streets and intersections
The change in priority at the intersections of Leake Street and Almondbury Street and Leake Street and Murray Street allows people riding along the bike boulevard to have a continuous route for as far as possible.
Extra signage has been installed and monitoring takes place to ensure that the new signs are being complied with. The monitoring will also establish whether further action is necessary.

Car pulls out at 30km/h to overtake bike rider as there is space and a clear view ahead
Slow points
One-way slow points allow the first person arriving the right of way.
An approaching driver or bike rider must give way to anyone already at or passing through the slow point by stopping with enough distance for them to proceed safely.
Overtaking
Car drivers may overtake a bike rider along the bike boulevard if there is enough space to do so safely, they have a clear view of the road ahead and they do not exceed the 30km/h speed limit.
The bike boulevard is designed to allow enough space for a vehicle to overtake or pass (if travelling in opposing direction) people riding.
