The Department of Transport officially launched the MGP 2009 road safety campaign at the Creg-ny-Baa this morning (Thursday 20th August).

This year’s MGP campaign follows on from the campaign which ran for TT and is a joint initiative with the Isle of Man Constabulary. The campaign features a series of hard-hitting images of real crash scenes from archives with the strap line of ‘Stay Alert, Stay Alive’. The strap line presents a concise and hard hitting message which, coupled with the campaign imagery, should leave a lasting impression on residents and visitors alike.

MR D Quirk MHK Highways Member said: ‘The key message from the Road Safety Unit to local and visiting motorcycle enthusiasts is to enjoy the Grand Prix but make sure that you stay safe on the Island’s roads, ride to the conditions and don’t drink and ride ’
The campaign will be backed up with newspaper and radio advertising. Billboards and posters will also be placed around the Island and on the Manx Grand Prix course reiterating the message of Stay alert, stay alive.
The Mountain Road will remain two-way for the duration of the Manx Grand Prix unlike for the TT when the Mountain Road was made one-way due to the high number of visitors on the Island. Two large billboards have been placed at the Ramsey Hairpin to remind motorists that the Mountain Road is two-way. It is also important to remember that there are prohibited and restricted areas around the MGP course which are marked with clear warning signs. Spectators are required to keep clear of these areas for their own safety and that of the racers during MGP races and practice.
The Road Safety Unit will be organising static displays at various locations around the Island with the unit’s promotional vehicle, everyone is welcome.
