Bus Lane Petition

In a world of increasing regulation & conformity motorcycling represents one of the last bastions of individuality and diversity. This freedom of expression & individuality is not a 'given'; it has to be protected and fought for. This is why MAG is focussed on promoting motorcycling & to represent, protect & defend the interests of all riders.

In September last year Bedford Borough opened up its bus lanes to motorbikes as way to reduce congestion around the town centre. Bristol has operated permanent motorcycle access since 1996, with Reading following suit in 1999. Motorcycle access to bus lanes has also been made permanent in Birmingham, Colchester, Bath & Hull.

None of the above towns & cities has reported any safety issues attributed to the above & in fact accidents amongst riders in the above town have reduced.

This being the case we would welcome your signature to support our proposal to Brighton & Hove Council to open up the A259 Ovingdean/Newhaven & A23 Bus Lane to bikers, with a view to extend this citywide subject to positive outcomes
