Junya Ikeuchi关于European Motorcycle Scene · Social Issues的点评

In Europe, the case gets made with numbers, and I like that. An 80% drop in Austria isn't a small thing. In social terms, this is a clean example of a modest infrastructure spend protecting lives. Back when I lived in London I often saw riders distrust local authorities — data like this is exactly what closes that gap over time.

Depending on sample size and timeframe, that number could hold up fine.

Under €1,000 per curve makes this an easy sell for local governments.

An 80% crash reduction is a striking number — I want this on Japanese mountain roads too.
