Bikers, next time you head out on your bike, think about everyone you love Remember, it’s not just you who crashes Expect the unexpected Drivers – look again for a motorcyclist, a glance is not enough #RoadwiseUp @deptinfra @NIRoadPolicing @NIAS999 @NIFRSOFFICIAL @daera_ni

During summer months, if your child is walking or cycling, make sure they wear bright or reflective clothing to stay visible to others. #RespectEveryonesJourney @deptinfra @daera_ni

It’s #Bike Week People who cycle are more vulnerable on the roads, Drivers and people who cycle both have a role to play in the behaviours that keep cyclists safe. When passing a cyclist, allow at least 1.5 - 2 metres. #RespectEveryonesJourney @deptinfra @daera_ni

With Summer approaching drivers should be extra vigilant for vulnerable road users as we share the road. Expect to see more motorcyclists, cyclists horse riders pedestrians including children making the most of the longer daylight. #RespectEveryonesJourney @deptinfra @daera_ni

Parking Stopping at the roadside? Check before you open your door - you could hit a cyclist or another road user. >>>nidirect.gov.uk/articles/waiti… #LookBeforeYouOpen @deptinfra @daera_ni

Take extra care at junctions Drivers should watch for oncoming traffic, including people walking, cycling, motorcycling and those using mobility scooters or powered wheelchairs, as they may be harder to see. #RespectEveryonesJourney @deptinfra @daera_ni

Cyclists – make your intentions clear 🚴‍♀️ Use hand signals to show when you’re turning, moving out, or stopping. Signal in good time so drivers and other road users can react safely. A simple signal can prevent a collision. @deptinfra @daera_ni

The DUTCH REACH: Drivers & Passengers rather than using your hand closest to the door to open it, you use your far hand. ‘Dutch Reach’, forces your body to turn, making it a habit to look for cyclists horse riders pedestrians, motorcyclists. #TeachTheReach @deptinfra @daera_ni

It’s #Bike Week 8 - 14 June People who cycle are more vulnerable on the roads. Give them space. Drivers - When passing a cyclist, allow as much room as you would when overtaking a car, at least 1.5 - 2 metres. #RespectEveryonesJourney @deptinfra @daera_ni

Drivers – Think safety around school buses Drivers always take extra care when passing a parked or stationary bus. Drive slowly around schools; the speed limit around many of our schools is a maximum 20 mph. #PayAttentionOrPayThePrice @deptinfra @daera_ni

In better weather, expect to see more children out playing or on their bikes. Children can be unpredictable, drivers pay extra attention at all times, especially at junctions & crossings, parks or leisure facilities. Slow down. #PayAttentionOrPayThePrice @deptinfra @daera_ni

Summer sunshine means hotter roads and tyres working harder than ever. As temperatures rise, tyre pressures can change too. Checking them regularly helps improve handling, fuel efficiency and tyre life, giving you more confidence every time you head out on the road.

Drivers – Think Safety Around School Buses Children are more at risk around a bus than travelling on it. Drivers – slow down and take extra care when passing a parked or stationary bus as children may unexpectedly appear from the front or back of the bus. @deptinfra @daera_ni
