On my way home from Critical Mass I spotted this weirdness.

There are two signs here that say the shared path ends....but it doesn't. The shared path continues across the bridge and into Kew.

I'm pretty sure these signs are new since the last time I rode past here a few months ago.

I wonder what weirdly broken process in the City of Yarra resulted in these signs being installed here.

The Victorian government spent a lot of money and time upgrading the Walmer St bridge recently specifically for cycling so it doesn't make sense that the bridge wouldn't be a shared path.
