EuroRAP:  Barriers to Change

Designing Safe Roads for Motorcyclists

Position paper on motorcycles and crash barriers. 

This paper is from the international Panel established by EuroRAP to look at safe road design for motorcyclists.  The Panel included motoring clubs, motorcycle manufacturers, riders' organisations, practitioners and national and regional road authorities.

The paper shows that motorcycle crashes cost the European economy billions annually and argues that the response is not proportionate to the scale of the problem.  It examines crash barriers that routinely save the lives of car occupants but can cause traumatic death to motorcyclists.
