8.1 Introduction

The majority of motorcycle riders are responsible road users, and have the same polar opinions about traffic calming schemes as other people, facing the same “residents-and-road users” dilemma that most people face.

If traffic calming is the only way to improve the road safety record of an area then the following factors need attention:

Location
Lighting
Materials
Maintenance

The consequences of poor design and maintenance in this context can be harmful for riders, defeating the purpose for which traffic calming was intended.
