DEVON County Council has warned drivers to watch out for motorcyclists, with more bikers on the roads as the days get lighter.
The council is urging motorists to watch out for bikes as part of a national campaign.
It encourages drivers to take longer to look for bikers, and advises that drivers check their mirrors more often.
Figures from 2011 show that despite bikers only making up one per cent of Devon's traffic, they account for around a quarter of all road users killed on the county's roads.
Sixty bikers were killed or seriously injured in 2011, with April seeing the most collisions.
Three quarters of the incidents involved another vehicle, and more than half were at junctions.
Mike Newcombe, the council's safer travel officer, said: "We have to remind all road users to take extra care and look out for bikers."
