In today's episode, hosts Wendy and John dive into a listener's query about road rules, specifically focusing on the legality of riding e-scooters on 60 km/h roads without footpaths in Queensland. The conversation covers John's extensive experience at TMR and redesigning Queensland driving tests. They elaborate on the implications of road centre lines, speed limits, and parking regulations. Adam, the listener, highlights inconsistencies in laws regarding pedestrian safety and scooter use on residential roads. They also discuss parking rules and the impacts of large vehicles on parking spaces. The episode emphasises the complexities and apparent biases within road rules and planning regulations, urging a call to address these discrepancies.
