The Henrico Police Division is reminding reminded motorists of the "Never Too Safe On 2 Wheels" traffic safety campaign as more cyclists are expected to take to the roads during the spring and summer weather. The campaign reminds drivers to obey traffic lights, signs, speed limits and lane markings; wear a helmet and other protective gear; ride with the flow of traffic and leave plenty of room between other vehicles; check behind and signal before changing lanes; and apply reflective materials to the motorcycle and/or helmet.
