[bikeqld] Cycling across crossings enforcement

[Ian Lister]

This morning at the Ride to Work Day breakfast I heard from another 
cyclist that on Tuesday morning the police were issuing written warnings 
to cyclists cycling across the crossing of Moggill Rd on the Western 
Freeway. Did anybody here witness that? Given that crossing actually has 
lean bars on it I had assumed that amounted to tacit approval of cycling 
across there (what else are they for?!) even though it is of course a 
violation of section 248 of the road rules.

Imagine my further surprise (OK, so I'm naive) when, at the end of the 
breakfast, three bike cops happily cycled across the marked foot crossing 
on North Quay:

Seems like some pretty mixed messages?
