New road markings trialled across the west of Scotland have demonstrated their success in improving the riding behaviour of motorcyclists taking left hand bends.
The markings, called Perceptual Rider Information for Maximising Expertise and Enjoyment (PRIMEs), are designed to help riders make better decisions when approaching bends.
Grounded in the latest academic theory on human factors and applied psychology, also known as 'nudge psychology', PRIMEs consist of new and innovative “gateway” road markings and an associated information signage. They are intended to provide a tool for motorcyclists, ‘priming’ them to adapt their riding on approach to a bend.
