Vision Zero North Dakota - Motorcycle Safety is a Shared Responsibility

Reaching Vision Zero's goal of zero fatalities and serious injuries requires both motorcyclists and other motorists to stay alert, follow traffic laws and look out for one another. Motorcyclists should wear All the Gear, All the Time, ride sober, follow all traffic laws and take a motorcycle safety course to improve skills and awareness. Motorists need to share the road - keep a safe following distance and watch closely for motorcyclists. 

Together, alert driving saves lives. Find out more at North Dakota Vision Zero.
