Back in 2015, the United Kingdom’s Highways England department first established a Motorcycle Working Group to thoroughly illuminate the specific roadway needs and challenges of riders in the U.K. The goal was to craft a more inclusive roadway infrastructure, one that could help reduce injuries and fatalities to motorcyclists.
In 2022, Highways England is now officially known as National Highways. In April, 2021, it published its findings in an official document titled Guide to Designing for Motorcyclists. This guide is meant to assist civil engineers in considering the needs of riders, with a view toward decreasing the number of people seriously injured or killed on roads by 50 percent before the end of 2025.
