Motorcycles Motorcycle riders often travel in the left portion of their lane. This helps make them more visible to other road users. It does not mean they will be turning left. Sometimes a motorcycle’s turn signals can be hard to see. Watch the rider for clues. If the rider does a shoulder check, they may be intending to change lanes or turn. When turning left, watch for oncoming motorcycles. They can be hard to see, especially in heavy traffic, at night, or at dusk. It may also be difficult to judge the speed of the motorcycle.Text extracted from the PDF for reference and may contain layout artefacts. The official PDF is authoritative.
