Share the road with motorcycles

Posted by Staff on April 11, 2023 - 8:45am

A reminder from the Lima Allen County Regional Planning Commission.

The weather in northwest Ohio has finally warmed and motorcycles are out. It's time for a reminder to share the road and take some extra precautions.

Motorcycle riders are reminded to obey traffic laws, wear DOT-compliant helmets, and other protective gear; also, be visible by wearing bright colors or using reflective tape.

Drivers of cars, trucks, and buses are reminded to look out for and share the road with motorcyclists. Increasing cooperation among all road users will help to reduce crashes.
