IHIE Guidelines for motorcycling
The Government’s Motorcycling Strategy*, published in February 2005, set out a plan of action to improve the safety of motorcyclists by facilitating motorcycling as a choice of travel within a safe and sustainable transport framework.
The Institute of Highway Incorporated Engineers' Guidelines for Motorcycling, published in April 2005, follow up and complement the Strategy. They give practical advice on how the different characteristics of motorcycles can be recognised and addressed in highway and traffic design and management.
The Guidelines cover a number of essential topics:
- Policy
- Travel Plans
- Road Design
- Road Maintenance
- Parking provision for motorcycles
- Road Safety Campaigns
- Traffic Calming
- Road Safety Audit
