Share the Road with Motorcycles

Motorcycles are vehicles with the same rights and privileges as any motor vehicle on the roadway.

All motorists are reminded to safely “share the road” with motorcycles and to be extra alert to help keep motorcyclists safe. Motorcyclists are reminded to make themselves visible to other motorists.
