What Should Motorcyclists Know About Riding Near Freeway Traffic?
Motorcycles can be harder for drivers to see because they are smaller than passenger vehicles. This can become especially challenging on busy freeways where vehicles are traveling in multiple lanes.
Motorcyclists should maintain a safe following distance and remain alert for sudden lane changes. Wearing protective gear and a properly fitted helmet can also reduce the severity of injuries during a collision.
Drivers should check mirrors and blind spots before changing lanes, particularly when moving across lanes near motorcycles. Maintaining steady attention to surrounding traffic can give motorists more time to react to smaller vehicles.
