🚴 Stay Alert for Bicyclists on South Dakota Roads – A Safety Reminder

The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) has issued a reminder for motorists to watch for bicycles on the road. Emphasizing the importance of safety for cyclists, the department reminds drivers that 'There's a life riding on it.' As part of their Think Thursday initiative, the SDDOT urges both drivers and cyclists to share the road and be vigilant at all times. With the increasing number of bicycles on South Dakota roads, it is crucial for the community's safety to be mindful of these two-wheeled travelers.No specific incidents or accidents were reported in this announcement, but it serves as a proactive measure to prevent potential accidents involving bicycles. The SDDOT is committed to ensuring the safety of all road users, and such reminders are an integral part of their safety campaigns.
