This document calls upon governments across the globe to take a more strategic approach to motorcycle safety, incorporating the active involvement of all relevant stakeholders. This approach is not necessarily a globally prescriptive one, as there is no one single type of motorcycle rider and no one single motorcycle riding environment dominating in the different regions of the word. In this document IMMA promotes the sharing of best practices from around the world. The objective is to stimulate national road safety authorities to consider what may be the best approach for their citizens in relation to motorcycle safety and transport policy. IMMA members believe that the following approach should be taken by all road safety stakeholders: Policy, Infrastructure, Training and Technology. In order to successfully implement the four stage safety strategy any action must involve all relevant stakeholders. Actions must have an understanding and appreciation of the traffic situation specific to the country in question and using accurate, standardised data to inform and support any policy decisions.
