Motorcycle Safety on California Highways
High-speed routes like SR-99 pose unique risks for motorcyclists, particularly when sharing lanes with larger vehicles. Collisions involving motorcycles often lead to severe injuries due to the riders’ exposure and lack of physical protection.
Drivers should remain vigilant for motorcycles, especially during lane changes and in heavy traffic. Motorcyclists, in turn, are encouraged to wear protective gear, maintain safe distances, and avoid sudden maneuvers to enhance their safety on the road.
