> [shared lanes] They're awful both for cyclists and pedestrians. People riding bikes would always prefer a dedicated separated cycleway. Cyclists want to be on the footpath less t…

Without excusing the behaviour around illegal electric motorbikes, there has also been absolutely shocking media coverage in Australia on road deaths. Here's a summary of a particu…

> s/the Media Report/the Australian Media Report/ Yes - apologies. I didn't want to change the title from the original.

I wrote this after disappointing media coverage of the death of a cyclist in Sydney, in the area known as Tech Central - where Atlassian, Block and many other tech companies are lo…

I made a Freedom of Information request to learn what happened in Sydney when traffic signal cycle times were made 20 seconds faster. I've also done some basic analysis and embedde…

> Weathergraph was then ported to Garmin (as Pebble shut down), and then to Apple Watch widget I don't think I was a particularly early user of Weathergraph - but when I finally ha…

I wrote this blog post up to detail secret design changes to a separated cycleway intersection in Sydney that have been in the works for at least 7 years. It's a record of how hard…

Came here to say this - looks awfully like OSM data and no attribution. I'm also not clear on whether Google likes displaying OSM data on their map; it's a strange combination. I c…

Thanks! It does seem to have lots of cycleways but I think it's helped by it's low density and small area (with the airport). > It could be beneficial to have the ability filter ou…

I built this open source dashboard to compare how Australian cities compare to others around the world with how many bike paths have been built. It uses OpenStreetMap data and a lo…

Seconding this. I was able to just run it with docker compose on a cheap mini PC and it chugs away happily, interfacing with all manner of devices (Phillips/Lifx/IKEA/Airpurifier/B…

I wonder if it means photogrammetry can be used (eg. OpenDroneMap) to construct a 3D model of the landscape/buildings...

As an OpenStreetMap contributor I really appreciate the proper attribution you have in the bottom right, rather than hiding it behind a button like Mapbox and some others do - than…

I use Colemak on a Kinesis Advantage 2 and decided to keep the same vim keybindings (physical locations change/key letters stay the same). I think it's less optimal than QWERTY but…

Interesting - could you explain more about the strange phenomena and lack of documentation? I've heard there is still present issues with lack of documentation, and more experience…

If you "jaywalk" within 20 metres of an intersection you can be fined. This is fairly common if police are doing a blitz - I've seen it happen near universities and high schools. I…
