This simple thing with road markings (turn points) for motorcycles is a great success

Project PRIME in action! Currently analysing data from this year's road trials of PRIME road markings for motorcyclists - caught this run of bikes on camera - really great to see. PRIMEs (Perceptual Rider Information for Maximising Expertise and Enjoyment) help motorcyclists prepare for demanding bends with a dedicated road sign and bespoke road markings. Since 2020, across 22 trial sites in Scotland, we have found significant reductions in speed, positive changes in road position and reduced braking. This site is Mid Lix on the A85 between Lochearnhead and Crianlarich - its wonderful road for motorcycles but not without its challenges. We're now into Phase 2 of the work (funded by the Road Safety Trust and Transport Scotland) where we're running more trials through 2023 to 2025 and producing an installation manual to guide others installing PRIMEs on their own road networks. If you're interested in a copy of the manual when its ready (approx. Q1 2024) please make contact. #roadsafetyawareness #roadsafety #psychology #humanfactors #transportscotland #bearscotland #roadsafetytrust #visionzero #safesystem #cardiffuniversity #casualtyreduction
