A new online information resource has been made available to help make roads safer for motorcyclists.

The Institute of Highway Incorporated Engineers (IHIE) has provided guidance on how roads can be made more motorcycle-friendly.

The Department of Transport hopes the information can help reduce the number of motorcyclists killed or injured on Britain's roads each year.

"This website makes the excellent IHIE motorcycling guidelines available to the widest possible audience," said road safety minister Jim Fitzpatrick.

"Projects like this show the real benefits of the government's motorcycling strategy, which has brought together a range of expert groups all working towards making motorcyclists safer."

Motorcyclists make up just two per cent of road users, but account for 20 per cent of the deaths and serious injuries from road traffic accidents.
