May is National Motorcycle and Bicycle Safety Awareness Month. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency wants to make sure you know the importance of sharing the road responsibly.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. - The agency launched it’s “Share the Road 24″ campaign geared toward both drivers in the car and those on motorcycles or bicycles.
“We all have a role to play in ensuring our roads are safe,” emphasized Colonel Jonathan Archer, Director of ALEA’s Department of Public Safety . “This month, we aim to foster a safer environment for all road users by emphasizing respect and caution on our roads. We encourage all Alabamians to be more aware of their surroundings and to acknowledge the presence of motorcyclists, bicyclists and even pedestrians.
• Provide ample following distance when behind motorcycles and bicycles to ensure you can react if they stop suddenly. • Be patient when traveling behind a bicyclist and give them space when passing. Alabama law requires motorists to allow a minimum of three feet of clearance between their vehicle and the bicycle they are passing on the road.• Always wear appropriate safety gear, including helmets that meet the U.S. Department of Transportation standards.• Remain visible at all times by wearing reflective clothing and keeping headlights on in low visibility conditions.
