"[The Kangaroo Point] pathway is used by about 3,000 people cycling, walking, or riding a day and these new signs will alert approaching riders of their speed and indicate if their speed is below or above 15km/h," Mr Schrinner said."Brisbane is an incredible city to walk and ride around, but it's important everyone uses our shared paths considerately and safely. Travelling at the correct speed is an important part of this.
"It will be interesting to see if these BAMs, which is a cool name for it, adjust people's behaviour. "There a saying that goes, 'If you need a sign the design is wrong', and I think that applies a little bit here.
