Light Up!
About this page
The BWA Light Up! campaign aims to get a light on every bike that is out and about after dark. This campaign aims to prevent collisions, improve visual communication, guide riders to the best performing lights, monitor penalties and communicate road rules.
During winter most of the commuter trips will require working bike lights with many people riding between dusk and dawn.
We asked and 61% of you said that other riders not wearing lights was one of the most annoying habits. It is also one of the most frequently cited annoyances to car drivers and pedestrians. And it is against the law.
Fatalities in night time or semi darkness often involve riders without lights or with inadequate lighting.
Phase One: We are currently in the process of gathering data on WA riders and their habits involving lights and visibility gear
The purpose of this survey is to gather more information about the reasons bike riders choose to use or not use bicycle lights. Your response will help us develop strategies to increase bicycle light compliance and make your riding communicative and considerate.
