good to see the signs.
...although I feel a bit guillty now when I lane split past cars as I go by the signs!
good call on the possum look! maybe they should've shown a bike locked up in a stoppie trying to avoid a car pulling out on them instead.. .that'd be more accurate!

The signs in Hamilton are the same as the ones in Auckland.

and i think they are suposed to look like a biker when he is about to hit a car or pullign a stopie.

RUBs (Rich Urban Bikers - The Mayor is one) must have more clout in Auckland, so they get the signs.

Interesting enough I noticed when we went on the ride ky organised to the loop that down in Karaka there is a sign (heavily overgrown with brambles) saying "Look out for motorbikes!". Looks to be circa 1980. Then around the bend there is a old style (the old hazards signs before the yellow ones) black and white sign saying something similar.

This appears to have been a local initiative by the local council. I wonder who had the pull down there.

Don't know answers to that BUT -
Why don't we ride down there with some lopping shears and prune
back the brambles - reveal the signs - and recycle them for another year?
Huh? We would be in protective gear, so no brambly scratches !
Wait for the Local council to do it, and you WILL wait........
The latest motorcycle safety initiative was a joint effort with ACC, Ulysees m/c club and some others.
I'm all for as much publicity for motorcycling safety as we can get!

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.

I took these today on the Southern M'way Pakuranga/Mt Wellington offramp, Auckland...what a superb day for riding it turned out to be!
