I don't know if anyone has mentioned this here yet, but I was riding home on I-8 from the coast here in San Diego and noticed that the huge amber alert sign hanging over the freeway had on it: SHARE THE ROAD. LOOK TWICE FOR MOTORCYCLISTS.

And now I've seen it a couple of times...very cool and nice to know someone is looking out for us...whether drivers actually read it or not. Has anyone else seen this?

Yeah, same thing up here in Redding (CA) and another just outside of Red Bluff on I-5. Nice to see it.

I did notice it after my mother in law mentioned it. Hopefully it reaches people in the way it's intended. The way my mother in law (who HATES the fact I ride a bike and HATES anything to do with motorcycles) took it was that bikes must be riding even crazier than normal so they're warning the drivers to watch out for idiots on bikes. :mad: She's one who no matter how I explain it, she just won't understand that the motorcycle riders are 99% of the time the safer driver. Not the distracted idiot in the cage who's not paying attention. :banghead: That sign started a little argument at breakfast on Saturday. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I have see some good billboards alerting drivers to be aware of motorcyclists. Here are a few that I like.

those signs are out because its spring/summer starting and the bikes are coming out of hibernation.. it reminds drivers that its that time of year and to watch for bikes.

I started to have visions of Steve Martin's character in "L.A. Story" where he befriends, of all things, a SigAlert sign in LA... :)
