Report a Hazard

We are continually working to make riding a bike as safe and convenient an option for getting around the city as walking or catching public transport.

Hazards cover a range of situations which affect the safety and enjoyment of your ride. These can include:

    • Pot holes and other issues with the road surface;
    • Illegally parked vehicles
    • Faulty traffic signals

If you know of a hazard or potential hazard please report it. Your information is vital to improving bike routes in the City of Sydney.

Information on reporting hazards including the appropriate point of call is given below.
