Why Motorcycle Crashes Near Entrance Ramps Can Be Severe
Motorcycle crashes near highway entrance ramps can be especially dangerous because traffic changes speed quickly. Drivers may be turning, merging, slowing, or accelerating within a short distance.
Motorcyclists have little protection during a collision with a larger vehicle. A rider may be thrown from the motorcycle or hit with severe force, which can lead to fatal injuries.
Ramp closures after serious crashes help keep space around emergency units and damaged vehicles. They also reduce the chance of another crash in the same area while traffic adjusts to the blocked entrance.
