The investment that the Community of Madrid, through the Directorate General of Roads and Infrastructures, will allocate to the installation of protection barriers for motorcyclists 14 roads in the region, will be hovering around one million euros for the present year. The aim of these actions is to reduce the number, severity and mortality of motorcycle accidents, especially in some stretchs located on the region’s roads. The choice of these areas has been made prioritizing its location in those sections of major accident rate in recent years, establishing a map of action in which motorists have been the main implicated. The works will be carried out in several sections, mainly in secondary or local networks, which are the biggest accidents recorded. It is planned to install around 14.000 linear barriers with a motorist protection system, which will benefit 28 municipalities in the region.
