Motorcyclists are being invited to help shape future road safety improvements by sharing their experiences of using Monmouthshire roads.

Monmouthshire County Council has launched a survey to better understand the challenges and opportunities road users encounter across the county. Feedback will help identify locations where improvements could enhance safety and inform future investment decisions.

Motorcyclists experience the road network differently to many other users, navigating rural routes, busy junctions, changing road surfaces and varying visibility conditions. By hearing directly from riders, the council hopes to gain valuable insight into how roads are used and where targeted improvements could have the greatest impact.

While the survey has a particular focus on motorcyclists, the council is also keen to hear from drivers, cyclists, pedestrians and anyone who regularly travels through Monmouthshire. Every response will help inform future road safety measures.

Funding secured through the Welsh Government’s Regional Transport Grant will support improvements to key areas of the highway network, with survey responses helping to shape priorities.

Cllr Catrin Maby, Monmouthshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Climate Change and the Environment, said: “We know that people experience our roads in different ways, and we want to hear those experiences first-hand. This survey gives motorcyclists and other road users the opportunity to tell us about the routes they use, the challenges they face and the improvements they’d like to see.

“Your feedback will play an important role in helping us make our roads safer and more accessible for everyone.”

The survey only takes a few minutes to complete and will provide valuable insight into how people travel around the county. Take part in the survey on Let’s Talk Monmouthshire today: www.letstalkmonmouthshire.co.uk/motorcycle-safety
