Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop announces our prize-winning motorcycle safety project, PRIME, will be shared with #RoadSafety partners around the globe. We have published an installation toolkit so other road authorities can replicate. Read more ➡️ bit.ly/4ipVBTu Project PRIME saw us work with the Road Safety Trust, BEAR Scotland and globally recognised expert Professor Alex Stedmon to create 22 trial sites across Scotland, where new road markings were installed to improve the riding behaviour of motorcyclists taking left hand bends.

The second day of the International Road Safety Congress focused on the other elements of the Safe System (beyond the policies dealt with on the first day): users, vehicles and infrastructures. In the first block of the day, an introduction to the Safe System was carried out by: 🔹Jonas Jansson (Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI) , Research Director - Dept. of Traffic and Road Users): ‘Driving in a Safe System’. 🔹Jennifer Carson (European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) PIN Director): ETSC PIN Report ‘Reducing road fatalities among powered two-wheeler users’. 🔹Dr. Veneta Vassileva (ACEM. European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers, Director of Road Safety): ‘Safe riding into the future 2.0’.

May is Motorcycle Awareness Month, and Binkley & Barfield | DCCM’s Transportation department would like to recognize how vital road safety is for all vehicles. Safe riding practices and cooperation from all road users will help reduce the number of fatalities and injuries on our nation’s highways. Drivers need to understand the safety challenges faced by motorcyclists such as size, visibility, and motorcycle riding practices like downshifting and weaving to know how to anticipate and respond to them. By raising motorists’ awareness, both drivers and riders will be safer sharing the road. Binkley & Barfield | DCCM takes road safety seriously. Our Transportation department works daily to improve road conditions for Texas drivers, but it’s up to all of us to make sure everyone drives safely and responsibly! More than half of fatal motorcycle crashes result from collisions with other vehicles. Drivers simply don’t see the motorcycle or misjudge its distance and speed.
