Posted August 26, 20168 yr All you folks from West Yorkshire might be interested in these consultations over transport improvements. The Councils tend to omit motorcyclists from their transport plans so you may wish to raise that here e.g. access to bus lanes, improved road layouts, signage for motorists to check their mirrors etc http://www.westyorks-ca.gov.uk/transport-strategy/ http://www.leeds.gov.uk/residents/Pages/Leeds-transport-conversations.aspx The latter ends 20 Sept 16.
August 26, 20168 yr At least they are asking people not just doing it and "just put up with it" attitude. Good idea to get folk involved, I belong to MAG and they do this type of thing all the time, just a suggestion, you might want to nip over to their web site and see if they are already involved http://www.mag-uk.org/en/news Seems they already are involved in fact. Second one down.
August 26, 20168 yr Author MAG has been doing some excellent work in this area. Leeds Council has been actively against motorcycles until recently, and that is largely down to MAG. There's talk of trialing motorcycle use of bus lanes in Wakefield however Leeds Council have been actively resisting this for a good 10 years now... If you ride in West Yorkshire it's a good idea to raise the profile of motorcyclists in the consultation
August 26, 20168 yr I'm a bit further South than that I'm afraid but still did the West Yorkshire survey they have on their web site, you never know if enough folks from all over fill in a few forms they might take notice!
August 27, 20168 yr Author If you ride in West Yorkshire, (or would visit West Yorkshire if greater consideration was given to motorcycles) then definitely voice your opinion
