Issue Analysis Survey- Abi Archbold
1. As a motorist, are there any concerns when factoring in cyclists on Australian roads?
Yes. There are more and more clogging up our roads. Most are cycling for leisure and not transport. Cyclists on busy transport roads are slowing traffic and must be restricted to cycling paths off the main roads. It is dangerous to move around cyclists when double white lines are present and difficult to slow,down in time.
2. Do you believe cyclists should pay registration and be required to possess a license before being allowed access to roads?
Yes! A cycling tax as such would allow for the development of cycling paths and lanes. Reduced costs for cyclists doing so for transport and more for those doing so for
Drivers are not all are inherently bad people who are just out to run down bicyclists, just as white people are not all white supremacists; however, there is an unknown bias we all have due to the influence of media and infrastructure. This cannot be undone easily, it can be, but it takes an abundance of work, dialogue, and understanding between countless people. Dowsett explains this by saying, “... Bike lanes are relatively new, and still just kind of an appendage on a system that is inherently car-centric.”
Evidence: A study presented by the white house on its website reported that 65% of roads rated in less than good condition. 25% of bridges require significant repair or cannot handle today's traffic. Also because certain roads cannot be used there is more traffic. The Texas Transportation Institute estimates that American commuters in urban areas collectively lost 5.5 billion hours stuck in traffic in 2011, meaning the average commuter lost nearly a week to traffic. their calculations further suggest that traffic congestion caused American commuters to purchase an extra 2.9 billion gallons of fuel, costing them more than $120 billion in added fuel costs and wasted time.
Since this data was recorded during the early and late morning, cars are supposedly more likely to be seen, as residents were heading to work. Furthermore both Roads are commonly used by residents of Brisbane as they connect to Gateway Motorway, which is considered one of the most busiest roads Brisbane. In both surveys, buses are in second of most vehicles during the day, as majority of trucks that travel pass these roads to return back to their companies or delivering to buyers. Only seeing motorbikes once on each trip, it is the third most common form of vehicle in the Mansfield Community. Motorbikes are only seen once perhaps, since most residents of Mansfield are families so they wouldn’t need to buy one seated vehicle. Having last place tied between the buses and pushbikes. Perhaps the public buses weren’t seen travelling by due to its timetable and our timetable. In contrast the number of pushbikes encountered during our survey suggests that Mansfield residents are unhealthy or most pushbike riders are at work which decreases the likelihood of spotting
How many times have you got on a road and have been jammed for hours? This problem is happening all around Australia. It is a serious, serious problem and leads to other major consequences. Car accident is the one that comes in mind first. Research shows that nearly 3 million people on roads of Australia have been involved in a car accident every year. One of the biggest reasons for this is narrow roads. I will make sure that when I become Prime Minister, roads will be widened as much as possible. For the better for you, for the better for your family, for the better for Australia, I should be the next Prime
There is a certain freedom that comes with riding down a long highway at eighty miles per hour on a Harley Davidson. That kind of freedom is something that only a minority of society chooses to indulge in, while another minority looks down upon them and chastises them for their decisions. “All bikers are bad news and the scum of society” they say as they sit in their easy chair reading shakespeare and sipping tea. Even to this day, there is a stigma held against the biker community that they are all just a bunch of trouble makers and beer drinkers that live outside the laws. Being a man who has been around the biker community since I was born, I’m here to share some knowledge and hopefully convince the skeptics that not all bikers are bad news.
Across the United States, every year millions of license drivers choose to ride motorcycles rather than drive automobiles for a variety of reasons; Reasons range from individual pleasure to a much more cost effective way to travel. The universal motorcycle helmet law debate over the past forty years has revolved around whether the federal government should adopt a universal helmet law that mandates all motorcyclists to wear helmets at all times when riding to reduce societies economic cost, or whether the individual rider should have the right to choose rather to wear or not wear a helmet.
It is only a matter of time until politicians throughout America will succumb to the pressures to create a similar system of roads around the nation. It would certainly increase the revenue for nearby businesses due to the newfound tourism. The new road system would be safer in comparison to a speed regulated highway. Germany’s autobahn for example has 6 traffic related deaths per 100,00 in comparison to 8.3 in
Growing up in Mississauga, Ontario, I rarely saw people cycling, especially not on main roads. In 2015, however, I moved to Hamilton, Ontario, and started school at McMaster University where I saw that cycling was the preferred method of transportation by many. Throughout my first year at McMaster, I lived in an on-campus dorm, and everything that I needed was within walking distance. This year, however, I am residing in an off-campus student house located a 20-minute walk from campus, leading me to search for faster ways to get to school. I realized that the two options I had were either to take public transit or to cycle. Since I don’t like waiting for buses and dealing with their unreliable schedules, I decided that looking into cycling to school would be an appropriate solution for me, which is where my interest in bicycles and cycling began.
Speeding is a huge issue on the road for australians. Why is speeding an issue, there are four main reasons why, which are; speeding is a major contributing factor in road crashes, speeding increases the risk of crashing, speeding increases a result of an injury and speeding is a main source of car crash which increases death for passengers or bystanders. There are different types of speeding they are, Low level speeding (5 km/h to 10 km/h), Excessive speeding (Way over the limit), and inappropriate speeding (speeding in bad weather conditions). There are numbers of ways Australia are coming together to create new ways to reduce spedding. Some ways the government are trying to reduce speeding are speed cameras, demerit points and campaigns.
New York City has always had issues with overpopulation and congestion. As of July 2016, the U.S. Census Bureau has estimated New York City’s population at 8,537,673. That's an increase of 362,500 residents (or 4.4 percent) over the April 2010 decennial census count of 8,175,133. The city has not witnessed such a robust pace of growth in over a half-century. And, as New York's population continues to upsurge, so does its problems with overcrowding and congestion.
As a result of an increased population inhabiting one area, traffic congestion is often a major issue resulting from urbanisation. In London, traffic is evidently a problem. As it would be expected from a capital city home to more
It's easy to get caught up in the exhilaration of a pregnancy, too many people forget that you need to eat a proper diet and use supplements like prenatal vitamins to make sure your baby grows up strong. The majority of individuals don't consume a proper diet, if you don't get the right nutrients into your system your baby won't have all the nutrition it needs. You might need to consult with a physician if you are concerned about not getting enough nutrition into your system, he can give you pills to help. How are these supplements able to help keep both of you healthier than the normal kind you would buy at the store?
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) established the United States’ Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) which have been used in US corporations for over 75 years. The purpose of having these principles allows financial statements from businesses to be compared truthfully and professionally. It also serves as a standard for accountants to follow. There is talk of the United States no longer following the principles of GAAP and adopting the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). By adapting to the international standards there will be a better opportunity for continuity between businesses in foreign countries and the United States. GAAP only pertains to the United States’ financial
Philosophy branch which streamlines, protects and guides the concepts of being correct or incorrect is referred as Ethics. People learn this concept from their parents who got it from their parents and it is a chain. However philosophers claim that it is people’s belief which decide ethics along with human intuition. An individual at singular level conscientiously decides what is right and wrong and define a limit of pushing ethical behaviour and morality in being. Moral acceptability of any action can be judged from the points if action is understood by an individual well, the consequences of that action on public, fair treatment of action with all people respectfully and the way action is being performed, the motivation of people for it.
