Follow these safety tips to share the road:
- Look twice for motorcycles. Check mirrors and blind spots when entering an intersection, changing lanes, passing or turning.
- Stay back. Motorcycles can stop more quickly than a vehicle.
- Actively watch for motorcycles that may be hidden.
- Do not try to share the lane. Motorcycles are entitled to a full lane of traffic.
