“A Rider’s Guide: Avoiding the Highway with Your Motorcycle”

It’s not uncommon for drivers to spot motorcycles on highways, despite these roads being off-limits to two-wheeled vehicles. Aside from intentional instances, many motorcyclists unintentionally find themselves on highways due to various reasons.

The following tips are designed to help motorcyclists avoid mistakenly entering highways, thereby reducing risks to themselves and others, as well as avoiding penalties.

Change Your Map’s Display Settings

While using maps for navigation is commonplace when exploring new routes, incorrect usage can lead to problems. Google Maps, a popular choice for navigation, offers users the ability to select their preferred mode of transportation, be it by car, motorcycle, public transport, walking, or even flying. As each mode has distinct routes, users must choose the one that aligns with their travel plans.

Upon its initial launch, Google Maps defaults to car navigation. This default setting often leads motorcyclists astray, inadvertently guiding them onto highways. Additionally, users who solely rely on two-wheeled transportation can opt to “Avoid Tolls” in the app’s settings. With this option selected, Google Maps will generate toll-free routes regardless of the chosen mode of transportation.

Pay Attention to Road Signs

It’s imperative for motorists to cultivate the habit of observing road signs instead of solely depending on navigation apps. In reality, these apps may not always provide the most up-to-date information regarding new road signs and regulations. Hence, drivers must take charge of their own safety and that of others by being vigilant.

For roads that prohibit two-wheeled vehicles, such as highways, authorities strategically place prohibition and directional signs to guide motorists. Adhering to these signs is crucial for safety and avoiding penalties. Failure to comply can result in hefty fines and license suspension for motorcyclists who venture onto highways. The penalties are even more severe if the infraction leads to an accident.
