“Share the road” – that’s the message to everyone who travels on Florida’s roadways.
The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), its division of the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) and its public safety partners have teamed up to remind everyone who uses Florida’s roadways and interstate systems that sharing the road safely is a collective effort.
From pedestrians to commercial motor vehicle drivers, and everyone in between, each road user is reminded they have a responsibility to promote a safe traveling environment for all.
“Many different road users travel across Florida daily, yet they all share the same goal: to arrive to their destination safely,” said FLHSMV Executive Director Dave Kerner. “It is critical for motorists and non-motorists alike to remain aware of their surroundings and operate on the roadway with the utmost caution and care for others. Sharing the road safely prevents crashes and preserves life.”
FLHSMV added: “Whether your mode of transportation involves 18 wheels, handlebars or shoelaces that need tying, remember that it is important to eliminate distractions, never drive impaired and exercise patience and kindness as you travel.
“By abiding by these tips when it comes to sharing the road, you and all other travelers can arrive alive.”
