Why May Wide Suburban Intersections Be Risky for Motorcyclists?
Wide suburban intersections, found where two major roads meet in a grid layout, can require crossing several lanes of traffic within a single light cycle. That distance gives a motorcyclist less margin for error than a narrower crossing would, since more can happen in the time it takes to clear multiple lanes moving in different directions.
These intersections also tend to have longer signal cycles and multiple turn phases, with several lanes of traffic moving or waiting at once. A motorcycle’s smaller profile can be harder to pick out amid so much simultaneous activity, especially for a driver focused on judging gaps across several lanes rather than specifically scanning for a narrower vehicle.
Riders approaching these intersections benefit from positioning themselves where they’re most visible to turning traffic, rather than riding in a blind spot created by a nearby larger vehicle. Drivers making turns across multiple lanes are encouraged to specifically check for motorcycles, since a bike can appear later or move differently through the intersection than the surrounding car traffic a driver may be primarily tracking.
