S1E60 RR360 Road Rules. Language, Courts, Legislation – a Collision with a HiLux, a Pedestrian and a Cyclist

In the final Streets and People podcast episode of the year, in Road Rules 360, John Burrill and Wendy Nash reflect on their journey through road rules. They talk about the highs and lows of explaining the complexities of road regulations. A listener shared they enjoyed when John and Wendy disagreed, offering fresh perspectives. They also discuss a collision between a Hilux, a pedestrian and a cyclist and the importance of clearer road rule legislation.

The episode highlights how wording in legal language impacts both public perception and road safety. They explore the need for laws to be simple and clear, as well as for communities to get involved in making changes. Their conversation reveals the importance of making road rules accessible to everyone.

John and Wendy conclude with a powerful message about improving road safety legislation and announce an exciting rebranding for the initiative – from 2025 it’ll be Get Around Caboolture.au. Their goal is to help everyone better understand the rules that protect them on the road.

Get Around Cabo Carfree is a community movement advocating for more transport options for people in Caboolture and Morayfield who can’t drive – and that is more than 4 in 10 people (a surprising not-so-fun fact about our town – check the About page for details). Our podcast has 3 broad topics.

Road Rules 360 (RR360) cohosted with John Burrill, former TMR subject matter expert for Qld’s road rules. We discuss the road rules for people riding a bike, walking, in a wheelchair or on a scooter or other personal mobility device (PMD). 

Not Everyone Drives (NED) are conversations with people who don’t drive for any reason. They may have a disability, on medication, strapped for cash, too young, too old, unlicensed or they had a collision and now they’re too scared (you might be surprised why a person can’t drive and how the lack of alternatives impacts their daily living). This one’s for policymakers to understand the implications for their decisions. 

People & Projects (P&P) are for transport advocates and people who are curious to hear what’s happening globally and locally. These are interviews with academics, advocates and community group leaders.

More than 4 in 10 people can't drive in Caboolture

Get Around Cabo Carfree is a community movement advocating for more travel options for people in
Caboolture & Morayfield. 

Our Goals

1. All children can ride to school on safe streets 

2. All young adults can get to work or study without needing a car so they begin adulthood without a debt of $15,000 a year. 

A lack of transport options leads to a high financial burden for
families, businesses and governments.

The only way we can be sustainable for the long term is with your help.
