Abstract

To increase the likelihood that the road environment is not designed or left in a manner that poses an increased risk to the safety of riders, it is important that those involved in the design, construction and maintenance of roads are aware of and consider the specific needs of motorcycle riders. To address some of these issues, VicRoads has developed a seminar and associated materials called Making Roads Motorcycle Friendly (MRMF). The seminars are targeted at local government and VicRoads staff, road design and construction contractors, and utility providers. VicRoads has also started to engage with tertiary institutions and professional associations to explore ways to increase the motorcycle awareness of engineering students and engineering professionals.
