Go ahead.

All around Vic, too. They generally don't even put in a bike lane, just say "use the emergency lane". Here's a sequence of images for one on the freeway in to Melbourne from Ballarat, starting from the onramp:

Onramp with sign declaring bicycles permitted on this freeway

Further along the onramp, sign saying to form 1 lane

also on the onramp, yellow diamond sign with bicycle symbol

sign beside the now-merging lane directing cyclists to ride on the shoulder

sign at the end of the merge, 110 speed limit.

This whole stretch of freeway is 110 km/h (70mph). There are skid marks where vehicles have bailed out of a failing 110km/h merge.

The shoulder is the emergency lane. It's where drivers pull over into if there's an unavoidable hazard ahead or their brakes are failing or something.

There used to be a sign "helping" cyclists already on the freeway by telling them "cross here with care":

But it was obliterated by a vehicle:
- I was looking to find the mangled remains of a cycle embedded in the turf just off the side of one of those images.

I got "Invalid Dynamic Link" on your link.

Same. Not sure what happened there. Have replaced with it's lat long.

Holy shit lmao

took a lot of training and tests to qualify to drive on roads

Those tests are stupidly easy

  Point is having a drivers license does not mean very much about whether you are competent at driving.

  Lol. Having a US driving license means you might be qualified to safely ride a tricycle on a training course.

  Yo do understand there’s countries outside the US, right? 🤡
Heh. Wishful thinking.
