Motorcyclists must follow the same traffic rules and regulations as other drivers on the road. This includes obeying posted speed limits, signaling turns and lane changes, and stopping at red lights and stop signs. Motorcyclists are also required to wear helmets that meet safety standards and are properly fastened while riding. Moreover, Nova Scotia motorcyclists are not allowed to ride between lanes of traffic or on the shoulder of the road. They must always remain in their designated lane and follow the road markings. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable on the road, so they need to be visible to other drivers by using their headlights during the daytime and wearing reflective clothing. By following these traffic rules, motorcyclists can help ensure their safety and the safety of others on the road.
