Motor Cycles and Mopeds

9.53 Motorcycles, mopeds, scooters and other forms of motorised non-car transport have a useful role to play in the transport system within the District. This is recognised by the WYLTP. There are signs that the use of environmentally friendly motorcycles and mopeds is increasing for both commuting and leisure use. Like bicycles, they are vulnerable to the effects caused by other road users and can cause problems for other road users including pedestrians when they are ridden in an aggressive or dangerous way. The Council supports the campaigns by West Yorkshire Police to increase motorcycle safety and awareness. The needs of motorcyclists/moped users are recognised within the Hierarchy of Consideration set out in POLICY GT 4 ‘HIERARCHY OF CONSIDERATION’. Requirements for motorcycle/moped parking have been introduced as theft of motorcycles/mopeds is recognised as a major issue and potential deterrent to their usage. Increasing provision for the secure on-street parking of motorcycles/mopeds is being made through the WYLTP and it is recognised that advantages would also accrue if parking requirements were to be introduced for new development as well. These requirements are set out in Policy T 20 ‘Motorcycle/Moped/Scooter Parking Guidance:’.
