An inner-city car-free bridge will finally get paint to separate walkers and riders of e-scooters and bikes more than one year after its speed limit was raised above jogging speed.

Police had fined bike riders $464 for exceeding the 10km/h limit on the Kurilpa Bridge before the state government said it would raise the speed limit to 20km/h, to mirror rules on the Goodwill Bridge.

A CCTV study found that while the 10km/h limit was almost universally ignored on the Kurilpa Bridge – which links South Bank with Tank Street in the CBD – most interactions between riders and walkers did not seem to be disconcerting or uncomfortable.

Signs indicating the previous 10km/h speed limit on the Kurilpa Bridge have been painted over on the concrete, but the black markings have worn down. Credit:
