SPREADING THE WORD
Take Control Of Your Visibility On The Road
The purpose of Motorcycle Awareness Month is to remind car, truck and SUV drivers that there are other more vulnerable users on the road, namely motorcycle riders. Each year with the approach of summer, travelers start their vacations, newly licensed operators enjoy the freedom of driving and commercial truckers log more miles thanks to longer daylight hours. It is a time to encourage greater awareness and practice defensive driving on the part of all vehicle operators.
In addition to supporting Motorcycle Awareness Month proclamations and publicity in cities and states throughout the country, the AMA has advocated for policies at every level of government to increase awareness of motorcycles.
• We pushed the federal government to install awareness signs on the interstate highway system, reversing their policy to only allow directional signage.
• We are engaging cities and counties that are adopting the goal of zero road deaths— Vision Zero—to include motorcycles in all of their plans.
• We have been working with industry and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to develop enhanced electronic infrastructure that identifies the presence of motorcycles in vehicle warning and crash avoidance systems, such as automatic braking systems.
It almost goes without saying that the increasing presence of systems designed to better detect motorcycles is not a guarantee of safety. Both riders and drivers will need to continue to use caution and not become complacent or dependent on these new technologies.
The bottom line? Motorcycle Awareness Month is all about watching for motorcycles, but the responsibility still rests with drivers and riders to share the road. The promise of emerging technologies and enhanced efforts to stress careful driving on our nation’s public thoroughfares can’t replace good driving habits and defensive driving skills.
The value of Motorcycle Awareness Month is in the elevation and repetition of our message. When we remind all drivers on our nation’s roads and highways that the summer months experience the highest use and crash rates, driving carefully and responsibly—and looking for motorcycles—just makes good sense.
Wayne Allard is the AMA’s vice president of government relations.
