Advisory

#LASD Conducting Motorcycle Safety Enforcement, Saturday, June 11, 2022, #Norwalk

Lynwood and Norwalk, Calif. – The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department  will have extra deputies on patrol Saturday, June 11th from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. looking specifically for violations made by drivers and motorcycle riders
 
The top primary crash factors for motorcycles are unsafe speed, improper turning, right-of-way violations, driving under the influence and unsafe lane changes. Speeding is the most common, accounting for nearly a third of all crashes in the state.
 
To help protect you and your family, keep the following tips in mind while driving or riding:
Drivers

  • Always check twice for motorcycles in your mirrors and blind spots.
  • Use your signal when changing lanes.
  • Never follow a motorcycle too closely. Always keep a safe distance.
  • When at an intersection, allow enough space before turning.
Motorcyclists
  • Always wear a DOT compliant helmet and protective gear.
  • Consider adding reflective tape to make it easier for other drivers to see you.
  • Always keep your lights on, even during the day.
  • Don’t assume drivers see you: signal well in advance before changing lanes and watch for turning vehicles.
  • Although lane splitting is legal, the practice is not encouraged at high speeds in free-flowing traffic.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department will hold other motorcycle safety enforcement operations throughout the month of June.
 
Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
