Delaware’s motor vehicle division is participating in a nationwide campaign this May focused on protecting motorcyclists on state roadways. The initiative, coordinated with federal highway safety officials, emphasizes that keeping motorcyclists safe requires cooperation from all drivers.
State transportation authorities are urging motorists to provide motorcycles with additional stopping distance and room to navigate traffic. Officials stress the importance of checking for motorcycles before making turns or switching lanes, as these vehicles can be more difficult to spot than cars and trucks.
The awareness campaign runs throughout the month of May, when warmer weather typically brings more motorcycles onto Delaware’s roads and highways.
