Stay Safe This Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month

Anchorage, AK – In celebration of Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month this May, Alaska State Troopers are urging riders and motorists alike to prioritize safety on the roads. With the arrival of warmer weather, the number of motorcycles on the road increases, making awareness even more critical.

Troopers emphasize the importance of wearing protective gear, including helmets, for every ride. “A helmet can be the difference between life and death,” said a spokesperson from the Alaska State Troopers. “We want to remind riders to gear up properly, maintain safe speeds, and stay alert.”

Awareness extends beyond motorcyclists; other drivers have a vital role to play as well. “Motorists must be vigilant and look twice before changing lanes or turning at intersections,” the spokesperson added. “Motorcycles are smaller and can easily be overlooked, so it’s essential to double-check your surroundings.”

As part of the campaign, the Alaska State Troopers are sharing resources and tips through social media platforms like Facebook to educate both riders and drivers about safe practices. They encourage community members to engage in discussions about motorcycle safety and to share their own experiences on the road.

Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month serves as a timely reminder that safety is a shared responsibility. By working together, both riders and motorists can help reduce accidents and enhance road safety for everyone. The Alaska State Troopers are committed to making Alaska’s roads safer and are eager for every rider and driver to do their part this season.
