We’re celebrating FMCSA’s annual Our Roads, Our Safety Week starting today! From large trucks and buses to motorcyclists, we’re all responsible for keeping #OurRoads safe. As you ride along the road with large trucks and buses, remember to keep your distance and stay out of blind spots.

It’s important for all drivers on #OurRoads to know that large trucks and buses operate differently than passenger vehicles. By giving them extra space to merge, being aware of large blind spots and giving the room required when making turns, we can do our part to share the road safely.

Large trucks and buses need more room to make turns. If a large vehicle is stopped at an intersection or about to turn right, you should step back from the curb and wait for them to turn before continuing ahead.
