WIRE ROPE BARRIERS (WRBs)

Do you know of any incidents of injury or death relating to WRBs and motorcyclists? If so, please contact Thug. These barriers are soon to be rolled out along highways throughout East Gippsland. The Paynesville road is to have several kilometers of them. Soon they will be everywhere. The object appears to be for VicRoads to remove motorcyclists from the roads one way or another. Recently, Brendan Jenkins went on the ABC radio to report how these barriers will save the lives of motorists and motorcyclists !!! Try hitting one - the least you will get is an amputation! And it doesn't have to be your fault. We have all been squeezed off our lane at one stage or another and that's all it takes, because they are placed so close to the road verge as to be unavoidable.
So . . . if you have any information, contact Thug (mickmartin@wideband.net.au)


If you haven't done so already, check out our very own 'Motorcycles Touring East Gippsland' website: http://www.motorcyclesaust.com.au
