A safety framework for discussing motorcycle safety

[buggerit]

I see they have added a bit of paint to a couple of corners on the Kopu-Hikuai's, unfortuanately they have cocked it up and actually made the corners more dangerous.They have added closely spaced dash lines on the inside of the centre and side markings of the road
to give the visual effect of a narrower road to make people slow down , but they have done it through the corner instead of
before the corner, so have created a distraction to the driver/riders they are trying to protect plus adding more paint
where we dont want it, on a corner.

I haven't got up to those parts for a while so haven't seen the outcome. Sounds very disappointing from your description. The whole purpose of looking at those markings was to make it more friendly for motorcyclists, not less friendly.
