Intersection of Royal Parade, Gatehouse Street and College Cresent, Parkville, Victoria

Recent road works in Gatehouse Drive, Parkville have created problems for bicycle riders at the intersection of Royal Parade, Gatehouse Street and College Cresent. The changes by the City of Melbourne have made the left hand lane on the westbound approach to this intersection left turn only. This forces bicycle riders to compete for space in the left lane as they cross the intersection.
