Kerbside protected bike lanes
Kerbside protected bike lanes physically separate cyclists from other traffic, including drivers and parked cars, using a physical barrier like a kerb or bollards.
In line with our Council Plan 2025-29 and Yarra’s Transport Strategy 2022-32, we're committed to creating a safer, more accessible, and better-connected street network for everyone - whether you're walking, riding, or driving.
As part of this commitment, we’re now seeking feedback on seven proposed walking and cycling projects aimed at making it easier and safer to get around our community.
These seven projects are funded in the 2025/26 Council Budget, with three scheduled for construction this financial year.
Kerbside protected bike lanes physically separate cyclists from other traffic, including drivers and parked cars, using a physical barrier like a kerb or bollards.
A contraflow bike lane allows cyclists to travel in the opposite direction to drivers on a one-way street. This creates a two-way bicycle route on a street where cars can only travel in one direction.
A bike box is a designated area at intersections where cyclists can position themselves in front of stopped drivers at a red light.
Headstart lanterns are a specific traffic signal at an intersection that give cyclists a head start before drivers receive a green light.
Detector loops are typically hidden within the road's surface near traffic signals to detect when a vehicle passes over or stops. With this information, they can extend the green light for the approaching traffic or turn the lights red to accommodate for cross-traffic.
Move the slider left to see how the intersection is proposed to change should Council proceed with this project. Please note: these maps are indicative only and not to scale.

Kerb outstands are localised widening of the footpath that extend into the road space. They are designed to reduce crossing distances across streets for pedestrians and improve sightlines between people walking and driving.
A contraflow bike lane allows cyclists to travel in the opposite direction to drivers on a one-way street. This creates a two-way bicycle route on a street where cars can only travel in one direction.
Bike hoops allow cyclists to loop a chain or lock through the frame of their bike and the hoop, securing it in place.

A pedestrian scramble is a type of traffic signal control where all vehicles are stopped at a signalized intersection, allowing pedestrians to cross in any direction, including diagonally.
