HJR 334 Summary

• Urges the Alabama Department of Transportation to display "Watch for Motorcycles" on all available roadside traffic advisory signage throughout May 2012.

• Cites studies showing automobile operators are less aware of non-four-wheeled vehicles and that two-thirds of motorcycle accidents involve both motorcycles and four-wheeled vehicles.

• Aligns with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's designation of May as "Motorcycle Awareness Month" to raise awareness among Alabama motorists.

• Allows for exceptions when intervening circumstances or more urgent messages require display on the advisory signage.

• Requires a copy of the resolution be provided to the Director of the Alabama Department of Transportation.
