Motorcycle Crash Risks on Urban Roadways
Motorcycles are smaller and less visible than many other vehicles on the road. In busy city corridors like Broadway, riders often share lanes with larger vehicles such as trucks and sport utility vehicles.
Urban streets can include multiple lanes, turning traffic, and frequent intersections. These factors may increase the chance of a vehicle crossing into the path of a motorcycle.
Motorcycle crashes often result in severe injuries because riders have limited protection during a collision. Road awareness, visibility, and careful turning movements can influence how safely vehicles interact with motorcycles on city streets.
