The purpose of this report is to help Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies understand conditions that affect the safety of motorcyclists and how to address road safety issues and identify opportunities for improvement through the Road Safety Audit (RSA) process. This report describes three RSAs conducted from 2012 to 2014 on facilities with documented motorcycle crashes. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sponsored these three RSAs to demonstrate the benefits of using the RSA process to reduce motorcycle fatalities, injuries, and crashes. This report attempts to synthesize the findings from the three RSAs and identify lessons learned about challenges and opportunities facing agencies as they seek to improve motorcycle safety.
