Norway is adopting PRIME road markings for motorcyclists. Placed before bends, they form a visual funnel: riders instinctively avoid the painted areas and take a safer line. A Scottish trial found lower speeds and improved road position that persisted four weeks after installation, while in Austria's Tyrol, 19 treated bends saw an 80% drop in motorcycle injuries.

As someone who travels, I'm simply grateful for this. Heading over an unknown pass with a map spread out, nothing's scarier than a first-time bend. If paint guides you naturally onto a safer line, you can savor the place with peace of mind. That the effect held four weeks on in Scotland is reassuring. I'd love to see it spread to Japan's mountain roads too.

The 'still working four weeks later' data is quietly strong.

I'm the type who dreads first-time passes, so this is honestly welcome.

Does paint alone really make it safer? Feels like the effect fades once you're used to it.

Paint's cheaper and more practical than putting up signs.

An 80% injury drop is genuinely huge. I'd love Japan to trial it.

Austria's string-of-pearls markings have been around a while, right?
