On any road

The greatest potential for conflict between motorcycles and other traffic is at intersections. Oncoming cars turning left in front of motorcyclists is the biggest danger.

Should only be done if it can be done smoothly.

Is better than shifting before the curve.

Is the best way to control your speed.

It is best to change gears before starting a turn. However, if you must shift while turning, shift smoothly. A sudden change in power to the rear wheel can cause a skid.

Speed up to get over the surface faster.

Ride in a zigzagging motion.

Maintain a steady speed and ride straight across the gratings.

If your motorcycle begins to weave while you are traveling over bridge gratings, you should simply maintain a steady speed and proceed straight across the surface. Trying to stay in your lane while riding in a zigzagging motion is dangerous.
