Everyone is reminded to “Fasten Your Seat Belts, be courteous to drivers and pedestrians and together we can reduce traffic related fatalities, injuries and property damage.”
Note: Traffic Safety Tip of the Week: The month of May is designated as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. As always, safety is the focus of supporters of the awareness effort reminding motorists to “Share the Road” with motorcycles and be extra alert when driving. Research shows that per vehicle mile traveled, motorcyclists are about 37 times more likely than a passenger car occupant to die in a traffic crash. Motorcyclists are encouraged to combine hand and turn signals to draw more attention to themselves, as well as position in the lane where they will be most visible to other drivers. Look for more tips in our daily traffic notes coming up throughout the month.
