PennDOT and PA State Police Remind Drivers and Motorcyclists to Share the Road Safely

Harrisburg, PA – As both temperatures and motorcycle traffic on commonwealth roadways are on the rise, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) join agencies throughout the nation in recognizing May as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month.

There were more than 3,400 crashes involving motorcycles on Pennsylvania roadways in 2020, resulting in 217 fatalities. Crashes rose by more than 300 from the 2019 number of 2,977, while fatalities also rose from 174 in 2019.

Some safety tips motorists should remember when sharing the road with motorcycles include:

•Watch for motorcycles: motorcycles are small and may be difficult to see. Check mirrors and blind spots before changing lanes and at intersections.
•Allow more following distance: leave at least four seconds when following a motorcycle.
•Always signal your intentions before changing lanes or merging with traffic.
•Respect a motorcycle as a full-size vehicle with the same rights and privileges as any vehicle on the roadway. Allow a motorcyclist a full lane width as the motorcyclist needs the room to maneuver safely in all types of road conditions.
•Never drive impaired.

Motorcyclists can do their part to help avoid crashes by following some simple safety tips:

•Be seen by wearing reflective clothing and put reflective tape on your protective clothing and motorcycle. Also wear face or eye protection and a DOT-approved helmet.
•Use common sense by riding sober, obeying all speed limits and allowing enough time to react to potentially dangerous situations.
•Know your motorcycle and conduct a pre-ride check.
•Practice safe riding techniques and know how to handle your motorcycle in adverse road and weather conditions.

While COVID-19 disrupted motorcycle training services in 2020, PennDOT understands the importance of offering motorcycle training to the public and has been working hard to ensure motorcycle training continues in Pennsylvania.

Takes effect today....should be common sense but....

A new law takes effect today that you should know about. It’s called the Move Over Law. If an emergency vehicle (police, EMS, fire, tow truck, construction vehicle etc) is stopped on the side of the road you need to slow down 20 miles under the posted speed limit or move over if you have multiple lanes to put distance between you and what’s happening on the side of the road. Violators face $500 fine for a first offense, $1000 for second and $2000 for a third plus a 90 day suspension.
