Good afternoon,
We are pleased to share that Victoria's Road Safety Partners have now released the Motorcycle Safety Action Plan (the Plan). The Plan outlines how we will work together to improve safety for motorcycle riders across Victoria.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to the development of the Plan. Contributions from stakeholders across government, local councils, rider groups, training providers, motorcycle manufacturers and retailers helped inform the Plan's priorities and actions.
Key actions include:
Delivering a $40 million Motorcycle Safety Infrastructure Program to rollout motorcycle friendly safety treatments at high-risk sites across the state.
Exploring options for a new urban corridor safety trial to reduce road-related hazards for riders in urban environments.
Supporting novice riders by evaluating the Motorcycle Graduated Licensing Scheme.
Updating the existing Learner Approved Motorcycle Scheme policy to restrict novice motorcyclists from riding high-powered electric motorcycles, and
Encouraging more people to wear personal protective gear.
The Plan forms part of the ongoing commitment to saving lives under Victoria’s 10-year Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030.
