Noticed this sign coming up to a roundabout on the Silverdale off ramp a
few days ago. Showing a motorcyclist on his bike.
And someone else saw one somewhere else in Auckland (that posted).
Wow that is great.
They are BIG signs and really get noticed to create motorcycle awareness!!
To the LTSA -ACC - great job well done, this can only be a positive thing for everyone.

It is nice to see something (hopefully) useful being done in the raising-awareness arena, innit? The signs are popping up at just about every major offramp in the area.
Now all they need to do is legalise filtering.

So thats what I saw on the Mt. Wellington on/off ramps. Nice idea and about time.

Wasn't me and I remember someone posting about them. Can't remember who though.
Great idea. It's nice to see the LTSA being proactive and supportive instead of bitching about what a bunch of accident prone losers we are. It also (golf clap) acknowledges that car drivers may have something to do with 'bike accidents
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

I saw such a sign on the back of a bus yesterday at the Pt. Chevalier Motorway onramp/offramp lights.

Classic Hits are also doing 'watch out for motorcycle' ads in the morning during peak drive time....so I guess there must be other stations doing it as well. Good stuff.

Lots of them all around Hamilton, especially at the large round abouts, -the ones with huge agapanthas obscuring everyones vision. Don't know if you guys have the same posters there but in our ones the biker looks like a possum stuck in the headlights..
The Sharif don't like it!
I saw one on the back of a school bus

Yeah I seen em too in Auckland. I pass between 2-3 of these signs every day & have also heard the phraseology on the radio. It's a cartoon of a biker made to look like some sort of freakazoid! I've seen that same expression on the faces of scooter & vespa riders before!
Who is responsible for this campaign & when are they going to put one out to make the public more aware of ignorant bus & taxi drivers???

So when someone is looking at this new sign on the side of the road - are they in fact looking out for motorcycles?Noticed this sign coming up to a roundabout on the Silverdale off ramp a
few days ago. Showing a motorcyclist on his bike.

Its a cooperative effort between ACC and either BRONZ and/or Ulysses. (I think)ACC 'think safe' campaign (I think - well thats what it says on the signs)
“- He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.”
OK, so who's next?
think they're just doing it to try to justify the acc levies,a few token signs should satisfy those gullible bikers........
