Road Improvements Email to friend   Printable version

One of the aims of the Motorcycling Matters forum is to ensure that the highway authorities can hear the views and opinions of motorcyclists when designing safety improvements to roads where motorcycle casualties have happened.

The following roads are being reviewed for improvements SPECIFICALLY to improve safety for motorcyclists.

Bedfordshire Highways’ safety engineers are particularly keen to hear from motorcyclists who ride any these routes. By letting engineers know what problems there are, from a motorcyclist’s viewpoint, you will be helping to make these roads safer for riders in the future.
