Following two tragic deaths of bike riders on New South Head Road, I’ve asked the Minister for Roads, Maritime and Ports for action to improve safety on this commuting route: https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/la/papers/pages/qanda-tracking-details.aspx?pk=237714.

Bike riders have contacted me about the lack of enforcement of the 1 metre separation rule, which should mean motorists give cyclists space on the road. There’s an online petition with more than 1,700 signatures calling for safety improvements: https://www.change.org/p/gabrielle-upton-mp-create-a-separate-bike-lane-on-new-south-head-road.
