Australia - NSW motorists to pay the price for city cyclists' safety

Under a proposal from the powerful State Government StaySafe committee, cyclists would have their own green traffic signals to get a head start over vehicles - similar to lights currently in use for government buses.

The City of Sydney Council, headed by cycling queen Clover Moore, told the committee it wanted speed limits dropped to 30km/h in CBD streets not yet torn up to accommodate cyclists - but bike riders will pay for none of the costly proposals.
