More than 200 signs have been installed on some 50 roads around Murrindindi Shire as part of Council’s ‘Safer Cycling’ campaign.
Youth, Recreation and Community Planning Portfolio Councillor, Charlie Bisset said with the increasing popularity of cycling in Murrindindi Shire, Council wants to ensure that locals and visitors alike are safe when biking on our roads.
“Murrindindi Cycle Club helped us identify the most popular cycling loops as key locations for signage. We also installed ‘Share the Roads’ signs, at approximately 3 – 5 kilometre intervals, on sections of road where visibility and driver-cyclist anticipation tends to be particularly problematic,” Cr Bisset said.
“Cycling is a wonderful way to keep fit and healthy, and Council is keen to encourage everyone to give the sport a go – it’s a great way to enjoy the natural beauty of our home too! Cycle tourism is also important to our economy, so we believe this will prove a valuable investment in our future.
