All around Vic, too. They generally don’t even put in a bike lane, just say “use the emergency lane”. Here’s a sequence of images for one on the freeway in to Melbourne from Ballarat, starting from the onramp:
This whole stretch of freeway is 110 km/h (70mph). There are skid marks where vehicles have bailed out of a failing 110km/h merge.
The shoulder is the emergency lane. It’s where drivers pull over into if there’s an unavoidable hazard ahead or their brakes are failing or something.
That’s why we call those type of “bike lanes” a murder strip.
Have them where I live too.

There used to be a sign “helping” cyclists already on the freeway by telling them “cross here with care”:
But it was obliterated by a vehicle:
I was looking to find the mangled remains of a cycle embedded in the turf just off the side of one of those images.
Holy shit lmao

Point is having a drivers license does not mean very much about whether you are competent at driving.

Lol. Having a US driving license means you might be qualified to safely ride a tricycle on a training course.

Yo do understand there’s countries outside the US, right? 🤡
Heh. Wishful thinking.
