There's a very Aussie bit of carbrain that says, if I've crashed, or broken down and I need to stop, I can either; pull over on the road and partially block "the traffic", or I can drive up onto the bike path and completely block the bike path. One of these is a completely reasonable thing for the aussie driver, one is anathema

subtoot; yes, I met a massive landcruiser towing a trailer that had driven into and parked inside the "safe, separated bike lane" because "I'm FUC*ING FIXING SOMETHING YA C*NT"

The WA police used to run breathalyser checks on Jon Sanders Drive and any drivers they caught they would direct to pull off of the road onto the separate bike path, completely blocking it.
