With summer here, our roadways will become busier with motorcycles, bicyclists and pedestrians. Sheriff John Spears urges everyone to be aware and alert for motorcycles, as they can sometimes be less visible than other motor vehicles. Also, remember that bicyclists have rights, too.
Keep an eye out for pedestrians and yield to them in crosswalks. Young children will be on or near roadways on their bikes or other recreational equipment and may not be paying full attention to traffic. Help keep our little ones safe by being extra vigilant and watching for them.
