FMCSA Our Roads, Our Safety® Week Happening Now

Written by Mariah Barr | May 6, 2024 1:30:00 PM

Our Roads, Our Safety® Week starts May 5, 2024, and encourages everyone to be aware of large vehicles on the roadways.

Not all vehicles are created equal. As most of us know, trucks and buses require extra caution on the road due to their size, limited maneuverability, and significant blind spots. But it's crucial for all drivers to be aware of these differences and make adjustments to ensure everyone's safety.

The Our Roads, Our Safety® campaign aligns with FMCSA's mission to reduce accidents, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses. Through partnerships with various organizations, FMCSA aims to educate drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians about the importance of sharing roads responsibly.

By fostering understanding and empathy among drivers, we can better protect each other. The FMCSA Our Roads, Our Safety® campaign offers diverse perspectives from all types of drivers, promoting safer roadways for everyone.
