There is bike path along Governor Rd as noted in this changes

177923442

There are no signs in the general area that indicate that these ways are for cycling purposes.
Victorian legislation states that bikes are not permitted on sidewalks/foothways unless specifically signed for use by bikes.

Agree with you on Munro St, slight oversight on my part.

way/456171193 is designated a cycle way but couldn’t see any signage to suggest this. Should this be changed to a footpath?

Hi Diacritic

These observed roads have a cross over from the main road (Oak Avenue) so they really aren’t a road in the traditional sense. They appear minor internal roads which upon my rear are consistent with the pipestems / shared driveway noted in the link below

service=driveway

128376349

way/785472809 is shown as minor road but is more reflective of a service road as it leads to various car parks

Yes I was aware of the street level imagery hence the change.
You seem to be recalling incorrectly as the majority of mappers agreed that the signed or lack of sign was the relevant permission of a way.
If you don't like Road Laws I suggest you write to the Minister for Roads and Road Safety to get it updated so you make comments on changesets.

Can you provide a reason why bicylcle=yes is permitted?

The entry to the path from Landcox St does not have any signage to indicate that this is a shared path. Suggest it is changed to a footpath.

Rode through Albert park today and could not see the path you have added through the grass area.

Russell Court appears to have restricted access due to gates on their end.
Suggest that access be set to private

I see where you are coming from. The presence of the crash barrier in the image would prevent a cyclist to get off Batman Avenue.
The side walk that is on the south of Olympic and AAMI park has a “no bike” sign that where it meets Gosch’s park heading in the western direction hence bikes aren’t permitted.

Hi Diacritic,
Thanks for your comments.
I tend to agree with your point about the sign, however this seems to be a slightly different arrangement to a typical on/off ramp arrangement.
I’m looking at this from a cyclist perspective and the permissions associated motorway links (bicycles: no by default)
Heading into the city I can’t actually access Batman avenue before AAMI stadium as access is from a motorway where bikes are not allowed.
Similar heading outbound, as there is no turn off to vehicles types that are not permitted to access the motorway.

Thoughts?

way/1032750893

Your comment associated with the changeset indicates access is for “management vehicle and walkers only”

121515744

If access is for walking only why does the way have allowed access bicycle: yes ?

113849046

Hi these bridleway have allowed access all:yes, however are not accessible to cars and cyclist.
Do you think it’s best to only have all:no and horses:designated?

120498123

Not that I’m aware of. The path is question is the way that extends from the off ramp to the on ramp should a driver need to get back onto the MP freeway.

There is a marked crossing further south at a set of lights for pedestrians and cyclists

120498123

I understand where you are coming from from the Wiki perspective but makes no literal sense.
A pedestrian nor cyclist can use the off ramp as they are not permitted on a motorway. On this basis any link from a motorway to another road even across another road like the Springvale Rd Intersection is permitted only for motor vehicles.

120498123

These ways are are definitely part of the on/off ramp for the MP freeway as it permits the driver to get off the off ramp and get back onto the MP via the on ramp.
Motorway link is the more appropriate tag and is consistent with mapping of similar intersections including on/off ramps from motorways

Refer to east link off ramp to greens Rd as an example

way/458112468

120498123

OSM wiki suggests that this way should be tagged as a motorway_link rather than trunk as its part of an off ramp which by default has bicycles and pedestrian access = no.

120498123

The pedestrian crossing indicated at the MP freeway and Springvale Rd intersection is slightly south of the off-ramp and on ramps. To be able to use the off-ramp, access needs to be permissible i.e. Car or truck. I don’t see that you can use the off-ramp from MP freeway and cross over Springvale Rd and back onto the MP freeway if you do not explicitly have permission to use the MP freeway as a pedestrian or cyclist.
Tagging way/198521879 with bicycle and footway = yes make no sense at all.
