Sharing the Road with Others

Cooperation Makes Roads Safer

The road is for everyone: cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and even pedestrians. Safe drivers know how to share space with all types of users.

Key Points

  • Buses and Trucks: Give them more space; they need longer to stop and turn.
  • Motorcyclists: Watch for them—they're harder to see and more vulnerable.
  • Cyclists: Treat bicycles as vehicles; give them at least three feet when passing.
  • Pedestrians: Always stop for people in crosswalks.

Real-World Scenarios

Being aware of all road users makes you a courteous and safe driver.

Respectful Actions

  • Waiting for a school bus to finish loading children before passing.
  • Checking blind spots for motorcycles before changing lanes.

Examples

  • Letting a cyclist go ahead of you at a narrow bridge.

  • Waiting for pedestrians to cross at a busy intersection.

In a Nutshell

Sharing the road means respecting all road users and giving them space.
