What Should Drivers Know About Motorcycle Safety at Intersections?
Intersections are among the most common locations for motorcycle traffic collisions. Drivers may have difficulty judging the speed or distance of an approaching motorcycle, especially when making left turns or entering a roadway. Motorcyclists also face additional risks because they have less protection than those in passenger vehicles.
Safe driving habits can help reduce these risks. Motorists should carefully check for motorcycles before turning, changing lanes, or crossing an intersection. Riders can improve their visibility by wearing bright or reflective gear, using headlights during the day, and maintaining a safe following distance. Slowing down as you approach intersections and remaining alert to surrounding traffic can also help reduce the likelihood of serious roadway collisions.
