This report provides an evaluation of the two major components of the ACT Government's safer cycling reforms trial: a minimum passing distance (MPD) when overtaking cyclists and the allowance for cyclists to remain on their bicycles when crossing at pedestrian crossings ... The analysis of the crash data suggests that the MPD component of the safer cycling reforms trial might have contributed to an improvement in the safety of cyclists in the ACT. However, there was an increase in the number of crashes between motor vehicles and cyclists riding across pedestrian crossings during the trial period. The small number of infringements of the MPD rule, combined with the fact that in some cases its enforcement was based on reports from cyclists, suggests that ways should be investigated to allow the Police to practically enforce the MPD rule in the future. Awareness of the trial rules as well as the public perception of their potential safety benefits increased throughout the trial. It is suggested that further data be collected to perform a more detailed analysis of the reasons for the crashes between motor vehicles and cyclists at pedestrian crossings. Infrastructure changes and a focused education campaign that may help reducing cyclist crashes at pedestrian crossings are also suggested."--Abstract.
