Walkers And Cyclists Not Welcomed On Bridge


You may have noticed some risk takers of late as you travel the Harbour Bridge - they may think it's open season with the demise of the toll booths - but - that's not the case.
The busy span was off limits to pedestrians and bicycles while the Harbour Bridge Authority and its toll booths were in place - so did that change when the booths came down and the province took control?
The Transportation Department says no - it's still off limits despite a lack of signage and toll takers.
Police have responded to a couple of complaints about walkers on the bridge - so we checked to see about enforcement - they tell us Transportation Department will be installing signs indicating walkers and cyclists are prohibited on the bridge.
