As a former Perthian, I hope this will change. It's an amazing city for riding. It requires action by the government [1] and less of an ego from ALL road users. I think the latter will be the hardest sell. A clever & sustained advertising campaign (IMO, led by the same people that did the Melbourne Metro's "Dumb Ways To Die" [2]) would be awesome. More education in school about not being a dickwad on the road would be good, too. 1: http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/perth-drivers-facing-new-law-to-leave-metre-for-cyclists-20140320-354wr.html http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/perth-drivers-facing-new-l... 2: http://www.dumbwaystodie.com/ http://www.dumbwaystodie.com/
