Poster: Think Bike – green-ticks
MOMENTUM EXISTS – DON’T MAKE IT HIT YOU

A high rate of motorcycle collisions occur at T-junctions….. with a vehicle pulling out in front of the motorcycle.

Momentum carries a velocity part….. which is speed….. in a direction….. because of the direction part, this poster was devised to extend the Think Bike existing work (pending permissions) to make a driver “think” direction.
* The direction of the first bike in the poster is side-on….. and if seen from a drivers point of view, waiting at a T-junction….. the bike will be passing in front with a speed and direction along a clear road….. it has a tick because “always think bike”
* The direction of the second bike in the poster is head-on….. and if seen from a drivers point of view, waiting at a T-junction….. the bike is approaching and it is more critical a driver has an imprint of this motorcycle image (the motorcycle’s direction of travel)….. as it is from this view (if not registered by the driver) that will produce the collision, if the driver pulls out….. This bike gets two ticks = more important view of a bike to have an imprint of….. regarding safe awareness.

As this poster is an influence from the existing Think Bike campaign….. It has been placed and described, as here, to point out….. that the “direction” part of momentum, has a place for consideration….. and a following poster has been designed, as an evolution….. entitled “Velocity Alert – Amber-Red

This poster has been designed and placed here to stimulate thought and discussion between people to the issue that an imprint (pre-set into the mind of a driver) of a bike side-on view is important….. and an imprint of a bike head-on view is important….. more so.

This posters relation to momentum is:
That momentum (‘p’) includes velocity….. velocity is made up of speed….. but also includes a direction part….. awareness regarding direction is important and relevant to road safety

Momentum Explained, in 3 easy parts:
For an explanation of momentum, relating to road safety….. momentum has been honed, simply, into 3 easy parts….. found in the category: Momentum Explained

ME01. Momentum is a quantity….. you have ‘none’ or you have ‘some’.
ME02. Momentum is obtained & lost….. you ‘dial it up’ and you ‘dial it down’.
ME03. Momentum is variable….. you change the mass and/or you change the velocity.

For this poster – Think Bike (green-ticks):
ME03 is relevant….. ME01 & ME02 are useful

These posters are pending, so it’s….. Your turn:
Honed, useful feedback and comments are welcomed.
Chip in (road users, road officials, designers, social professionals, science & techs, fundraisers & grant application specialists, etc)….. all interested in road safety….. able to perceive potential of concept.

The initial goals (all images) are:
1. To stimulate… Awareness to momentum and its presence on our roads.
2. To stimulate… Discussion and argument (debate) from road users, in response to seeing this image and being aware of the accompanying explanations available (applied in a campaign and for now, found here on this website).

Two questions are asked of this poster:
1. If you knew what momentum was…. would you recognise the poster to be correct?
2. Would you agree, momentum is relevant to road safety?
