Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Barry Sheerman (Labour). It was answered by Paul Clark (Labour) on Thursday, 18 March 2010 on behalf of the Department for Transport.


Cycling and Motorcycling Accidents

Question
What steps his Department is taking to reduce the number of deaths of, and serious accidents involving, motorcyclists and cyclists.
Answer

Specific road safety initiatives aimed at motorcyclists and cyclists include a new Think! campaign on motorcycle safety, training for young cyclists via Bikeability, and the enhanced rider scheme for post-test training for motorcyclists. Last year, we published proposals to improve road safety in the consultation document, "A Safer Way". That included proposals for new guidance on encouraging more 20 miles per hour zones.
