Title: Petition Ausroads to recognise motorcycles
Post by: Biggles on March 24, 2015, 09:15:16 PM

Quoting "Motorbikewriter":

It’s quite surprising because most of the Austroads members in the last five or six years have been quite proactive in motorcycle safety, yet Austroads have produced these reports with no reference to motorcycles.

The latest significant reports to omit references to motorcycles are the “Investigation of Key Crash Types: Rear-end Crashes in Urban and Rural Environments” and “Level of Service Metrics (for Network Operations)” which determines road planning.

There is a petition here to sign.  Add your weight to the push!

Thanks Biggles.

Is it just me or are other riders noticing how poor a surface is provided in work sites for all traffic types to transition through?
