The Integrated Transport Strategy outlines the importance of motorcycles as an alternative transport choice to cars, as they take up less parking space and use less fuel and for this reason the Department is looking at ways of further encouraging their use.
One of the ways to do this is by ensuring that there is plenty of motorcycle parking available at convenient locations. There are already a number of motorcycle bays in place in the centre of St Peter Port, but recent surveys have shown that these are already being well used and in some locations are full to capacity.
For this reason, the Department has removed two 2 hour parking spaces on the Crown Pier to extend the existing motorcycle bay to the east to increase the capacity by eight motorcycles.
The Department will be investigating other locations where additional motorcycle bays and motorcycle shelters can be installed in due course.
The location of the existing motorcycle bays in St Peter Port is available on the government website and can be found using the following link. http://www.gov.gg/parking
