PAINESVILLE, Ohio, April 25, 2024– May marks the beginning of riding season for many motorcyclists in our community. At today’s Commissioners meeting, the Board of Lake County Commissioners proclaimed the month of May as Motorcycle Awareness Month.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reminds all motorists that Motorcyclist’s Safety Is Everyone’s Safety. Motorcycle safety is an ongoing responsibility for all road users. By consistently following safe driving and riding practices and sharing them with others, all motorists can help reduce the number of motorcyclist fatalities on America’s roads.
“Motorcycle Awareness Month serves as a reminder for all road users to be mindful of their surroundings and watch out for motorcyclists. Let’s prioritize safety, respect each other’s space on the road, and work towards a shared goal of zero motorcycle-related accidents,” said Commission President John T. Plecnik.
