Australia Post says motorcycle posties will be much easier to see from today.

After a successful trial, posties will take to the roads and footpaths in new fluoro yellow high-visibility uniforms and enhancements for their bikes.

The bikes will carry yellow flags and will also be covered in yellow stickers.

Postal workers will also carry a yellow bag.

Of 7,000 postal bikes, 1,000 have been kitted out with the new enhancements.

Australia Post spokesman Scott McIntyre says the trial results show a definite reduction in accidents.

"We found that some of the incidents fell by 75 per cent in the trial so that's very encouraging results," he said.
