So is dropping the speed limit.

Foot paths are for pedestrians, roads are for cars. Its not really that hard.
How about fining pedestrians that walk against the red or 'jaywalk', another reason there is a lot of car vs pedestrian incidents.

Ultimately this is where the CBD is heading, encourage more cycles and less cars.

You would be the only one to see and advantage of this.
If bike riders followed the road rules aswell it wouldnt be near as bad, if they want to use the roads, abide by the laws car owners have to. If you dont want to follow the rules then yes they should ride in the gutter.
(before any bikes riders crack up, i was an avid mountain biker for many years so i know what its like to deal with cars on a daily basis)
SINGLE BLOODY FILE, ive lost count of how many times on the weekend near where i live i see packs of 20-30 bikes taking up a single lane, no wonder there is so many car vs bike incidents.

Care to explain the 'Traffic improvement fee' on my QLD registration papers?
