Four years with no fatalities on open roads during Manx motorcycle festivals

Police say 2025 was another year with no deaths in TT or MGP

This year marks four years without a fatality on Manx open roads during our motorcycle festival periods.

The Isle of Man Constabulary has just confirmed its figures, saying they reflect the dedication of agencies and the emergency services working together to keep residents and visitors safe.

Every year the Island sees an influx of visitors attending the TT and Manx Grand Prix, which also sees an increase in the number of people on the roads.

Police say the number of collisions has fallen in that time and the progress has been driven by a series of coordinated measures, including:

• Enhanced roadside response – Roads Policing Officers are now trained to advanced first aid levels, providing critical support until medical teams arrive.
• Faster medical response times – Medics are strategically positioned around the Island for rapid deployment.
• Smarter road management – The Isle of Man Department of Infrastructure (DOI) continues to review and implement appropriate speed limits, operate the TT mountain one-way system after races, and have reintroduced “Keep Left” signs in response to growing numbers of European visitors.
• Proactive safety engagement – The Road Safety team has been providing visitors with key safety advice, proactive safety campaigns and highlighting high-risk areas.

Chair of the Road Safety Partnership, Superintendent Danny Rotchell said: "The continued safety of our roads during these festivals is no accident. It is the result of months of preparation, strong teamwork, and the commitment of everyone involved. 

"We are grateful to all partners and to the public for playing their part in keeping our Island safe."
