Awareness <> Suggestions <> Discussion
Motorcycle Awareness Topics
1. Operational differences between motorcycles and four-wheeled vehicles
2. Bumps, holes, cracks, and gravel3. Lane ridges, rises and lane changes4. Grooved surfaces and bridge deck surfaces5. Joints on bridges, lanes, and RR crossings6. Utility covers, grates, and steel plates 7. Painted pavement markings, RPMs, and signage8. Combinations - work zone hazards

Segment 2
Segment 2: Bumps, Holes, Cracks, and Gravel
2. Bumps, Holes, Cracks, and Gravel
Suggestions and Discussion• What can be done during design to minimize
these issues?• What can be done during construction?• What maintenance activities will minimize
issues for motorcyclists?
