Motorcycle Crash Risks on Long Highway Routes
Motorcycle crashes on highways can be severe because riders have little protection from the force of impact. Higher speeds can increase the risk of fatal injuries, especially when a rider is thrown from the motorcycle.
Long highway stretches may also create added danger at night. Darkness, changing speeds, and limited nearby exits can make it harder for drivers and riders to react after a crash.
Lane closures after a serious motorcycle accident help protect injured people and emergency units. Even after one lane reopens, traffic may stay slow while vehicles move past the scene and backups begin to clear.
