As I mention in the article, I certainly don’t look to Australia for best-practice cycling guidance. But the appropriate contra-flow cycle separator options to use are very much driven by the relative traffic volumes and speeds – you don’t need fully separated cycleways in all cases. NZ’s guidance on contra-flow cycleways (NZTA Cycling Network Guidance) discusses all the options – and that was based on best-practice guidance from France…

Don’t assume that Australia knows best just because they’re bigger.
