2Wheel roads policing operation launched

We are supporting a national campaign aimed at improving safety for motorcyclists and cyclists across our region as part of the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) 2Wheel Operation. 

Running from Tuesday, 2 June to Monday, 15 June 2026, the operation marks the start of the summer season for two-wheel road users and focuses on reducing the number of people killed or seriously injured on our roads. 

Motorcyclists remain disproportionately represented in road traffic collisions across the UK, highlighting their increased vulnerability compared to other road users. 

In the Humberside area, between May 2025 and May 2026, there were 266 road traffic collisions involving motorcyclists, including 102 serious injury collisions and 13 fatal collisions.

While motorcycles can travel at similar speeds to cars, riders do not benefit from the same level of physical protection in a collision, meaning even minor misjudgements can have serious or fatal consequences.
