Why should motorcyclists pay to fix hazards on the road caused by other vehicles?
Road hazards to motorcyclists result from various causes including weathering, spreading debris, drainage and general wear from all road vehicles. However, motorcyclists are affected by hazards and some road conditions that do not affect other road users. Blackspot treatments funded by the levy are only in locations that represent a specific and significant safety problem for riders. Other state funded road improvement programs also address problems in high risk areas for motorcyclists such as the Great Ocean Road.
