‘Share the Road’ Campaign Aims to Increase Motorcycle Safety Awareness for All Road Users

El viernes, Mayo 8, 2015, desde 12:00 p.m. a 5:00 p.m., the Oxnard Police Department Traffic Unit will be conducting a motorcycle safety enforcement operation within the city limits. This enforcement effort is to lower deaths and injuries among motorists involved in motorcycle collisions. agentes adicionales estarán en las zonas de patrulla de servicio frecuentados por los motociclistas y donde se producen accidentes de motocicleta. Los oficiales estarán en busca de violaciónes cometidos por los conductores y pasajeros por igual que pueden conducir a accidentes de motocicleta.

As motorcycle fatalities and injuries have increased in California, the law enforcement and the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) have stepped up their efforts to promote safety and education, highlighted by Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month in May.

Nationwide, motorcyclists made up 14 percent of all vehicle-related fatalities in 2013, up from about 9 percent in 2004. This was despite motorcycle registrations representing only 3 percent of all vehicles in the United States in 2013, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data. The fatality rate per miles traveled for motorcyclists is 16 times that of vehicle occupants.

En 2013, California’s motorcycle collisions resulted in 475 fatalities and 13,143 injured victims. En 2012, 467 personas murieron y 12,617 were injured.

During Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month – and throughout the year – all road users are reminded to safely “share the road” with motorcyclists, and to be extra alert to help keep motorcyclists safe. That message is most important in California, which is home to more than 830,000 registered motorcycles – the most of any state – and more than 1.4 million motorcycle riders.

“Californians increasingly get around by means other than cars and trucks. More are bicycling, walking, taking mass transit and motorcycling,” said OTS Director Rhonda Craft. “That also means that everyone needs to be extra cautious and looking out for everyone else, no matter what their means of transportation is.”

The California Motorcyclist Safety Program (CMSP) trains approximately 65,000 motorcyclists every year. A partir de julio 2014, casi 945,000 motorcycle riders have received training at one of the authorized CMSP training sites since the program began in 1987.

The Oxnard Police Department offers tips to drivers on how to prevent motorcycle collisions:

Driver’s safety reminders:
-A pesar de una motocicleta es un vehículo pequeño, its operator still has all the rights of the road as any other motorist
-Always signal when changing lanes or merging with traffic
-Si ve una motocicleta con una señal de, ten cuidado: señales de motocicleta son a menudo no cancelación y podrían haber sido olvidados
-Asegúrese siempre de que la motocicleta está girando antes de continuar
-Check all mirrors and blind spots for motorcycles before changing lanes or merging with traffic, especially at intersections
-Lane Sharing is not illegal in California
-Always allow more follow distance – three to four seconds – when behind a motorcycle. Esto les da más tiempo para maniobrar o detenerse en una emergencia.

Los motociclistas pueden aumentar su seguridad siguiendo estos pasos:
-Wear the proper safety gear at all times, including a DOT-compliant helmet

-Follow at a safe distance – three to four seconds
-Ride within your own limits – don’t be a victim of peer pressure
-Utilizar las señales de giro en cada cambio de carril o giro.
-Use ropa de colores brillantes y cinta reflectante para aumentar la visibilidad.
-Nunca andar distraído o con impedimentos
-Conduce a la defensiva – assume other drivers don’t see you
