  1. Making Roadways Safer for Motorcycles

  2. Motorcycle Awareness Topics • Operational differences between motorcycles and four-wheeled vehicles • Bumps, holes, cracks, and gravel • Lane ridges, rises and lane changes • Grooved surfaces and bridge deck surfaces • Joints on bridges, lanes, and RR crossings • Utility covers, grates, and steel plates • Painted pavement markings, RPMs, and signage • Combinations - work zone hazards
