A new memo to Local Authority Highway Officers from the Department for Transport’s Road Safety Division encourages all organisations involved in transport policy to recognise that motorcycling is a ‘modern, practical form of transport’.

Bike-friendly road surfaces, manhole covers, road signs and road markings are all detailed – as are the benefits of secure dedicated bike parks.

BMF Chairman and Director of Government Affairs Anna Zee said: “A lot of work went into the National Motorcycling Strategy so we welcome this initiative in reminding Local Authorities of the motorcycles role in transport matters. We will now be building on this at a local level.”
