Motorcycle Accident Risks at Illinois Intersections
Intersections can create serious risks for motorcyclists because motorcycles are smaller and may be harder for drivers to see. Turning vehicles, lane changes, and vehicles entering traffic can leave little time for a rider to react.
Motorcyclists can reduce their risk by maintaining a safe speed, staying visible, and watching for vehicles approaching from different directions. Wearing a properly fitted helmet can also reduce the severity of head injuries during a serious accident.
Drivers should check carefully for motorcycles before turning, changing lanes, or entering an intersection. Avoiding distractions and allowing adequate space can help reduce the likelihood of a serious roadway collision.
