The Missouri Department of Transportation and the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety want to remind motorists to “Watch for Motorcycles” in order to help prevent motorcycle crashes, deaths and injuries on Missouri roadways.
•Allow the motorcycle the full width of a lane at all times.
•Always signal when changing lanes or merging with traffic.
•Check all mirrors and blind spots for motorcycles before changing lanes or merging with traffic, especially at intersections.
•Never drive distracted or impaired.
Motorcyclists must also take precautions to remain safe on the road. Motorcyclists can increase their safety by following these steps:
•Wear a DOT-compliant helmet and other protective gear.
•Obey all traffic laws and be properly licensed and trained.
•Wear brightly colored clothes and reflective tape to increase visibility.
•Ride in the middle of the lane where you will be more visible to drivers.
•Never ride distracted or impaired.
