Earlier this year one of the women in a group/club I've cycled with for years, Gail Allan, was killed on 14th January at around 8am while crossing over 2 lanes of the Princes Motorway M1 (formerly F6 Southern Expressway) to take the Princes Highway exit on the right-hand side at Waterfall. It's something many cyclists have to negotiate when heading south if they wish to take the quieter Princes Hwy. It's an unfortunate design.
If you live in Sydney and cycle on the road, sign it! One day when you're heading south if this happens you will apprectiate it. Currently we have to run the gauntlet uphill just where it changes from 80 to 110km/h, like this...
Even if you're a motorist and hate cyclists, sign it! One less place you'll have to slow down for a cyclist or yell abuse at, because everyone knows they don't pay rego.
The thing is there is an old tunnel under the motorway and a road that leads to the old highway. It just needs a cleanup and removal of some barricades. It was a service tunnel when the F6 was a tollway (paid off in 1995)
