Guidelines to aid future planning with motorcyclists safety in mind.

---

The Institute of Highway Incorporated Engineers (IHIE) have produced online guidelines to help with motorcyclists safety on future developments - 7th May 2008 Motorcyclists are more likely to be involved in a road accident than any other group of road users. Although they amount to only around one percent of vehicles on the UK's roads they account for twenty percent of road accidents which result in fatalities or serious injury.

In an attempt to reduce the number of bike accidents on the UK's roads, the Institute of Highway Incorporated Engineers (IHIE) have created a website, www.motorcycleguidelines.org.uk. This offers guidance and advice to transportation professionals and planners on motorcycle safety issues and general road usage requirements, in the hope that these issues will be taken into consideration in future transport related developments and lead to a reduced number of motorcycle accidents.

The guidelines will be kept under constant review for improvements and new information with any updates to the guidelines being shown through version numbers shown at the base of the chapter pages.

There is also a forum where riders and professionals will be able to post new information and point out any improvements to the current material.  

  We also provide legal services enabling you to make a compensation  claim with us, should you wish to do so. Our objective is to inform members of the public about their rights once they have had a car accident and to give them confidence in the legal process.
