A Suggestion From A Comunity Member From Willmott - Regarding Cyclists!

Following on from cyclist sharing pathways, I have been advised by a Whalan commuter Blacktown City Council did a thick book report in the 1970's  in relation to cycle pathways and shared pathways and this hasn't emerged from anywhere to show what theses plans were in those times. Maybe there wasn't a focus in that time as maybe there wasn't a lot of cyclists on the road in a growing community.

In relation to cyclists having more access to shared pathways in Mount Druitt, it was reported by a commuter from Willmott, that in one news paper recently that there should be a speed limit for cyclists. This is to prevent speeding cyclists on pathways having potential accidents with pedestrians. The speed limit suggested was 10km per hour.
 
It seems like it is happening around the world - why are we behind the times?

My question is as a cyclist, how do we gauge this when bicycles are not supplied with distance or speed gauges and how will his Police? Will there be radars and cameras to issue, 'Issue on the spot fines'. A good suggestion, yet Council's obligation will be for them to ensure ample speed limit signs are placed on relevant sections of the shared pathway.
