With temperatures expected to be in the 80s this week, there will be more pedestrians, bicyclists and other vulnerable roadways users out enjoying the weather. Drivers, please slow down, stay alert and remember that it's Everybody's Road, Everybody's Rules. https://t.co/ZBkyZWDiNI

Do you know the state laws of bike safety? Officers are out in Michigan communities enforcing the laws for both drivers and bike riders. Learn the bike safety laws at https://t.co/pNyHP042KH.

#TuesdayTip: Stay cool and hydrated as the temperatures rise. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty.

All the parts of your truck work hard -- especially the seat belts. When you wear your seat belt, you reduce your risk of serious injury or death in crash by 60%. So put all of your truck to work and remember to buckle up. https://t.co/NphpaHhCSJ

A manual distraction is anything that takes your hands off the wheel. Drive focused with both hands on the wheel!

In every state, it's illegal to pass a school bus while the stop-arm is extended and the red lights are flashing. 🚍🛑

Keep our kids SAFE — just WAIT. 🚸

Know your role. 😎

Drivers 🚗 — remember to share the road and give bicyclists enough space.

Bicyclists 🚲 — make sure you're prepared for your next ride with the right gear.

April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and we are stepping up enforcement. Remember, texting while driving is against Michigan law, but it’s not the only distraction. Whether it's eating, fixing your hair, or searching for the perfect song, any distraction can be dangerous. Let's stay safe together by following Michigan's hands-free law and keeping our focus on the road. When you drive, just drive. Learn more at https://t.co/blNgHxPGMT.

It’s National Work Zone Awareness Week! Safety is critical for work zone crews, along with the vehicles that travel through them. Drivers — slow down and ALWAYS watch for workers while driving in and out of work zones. Learn more at https://t.co/xVfmJlo3Nt #NWZAW #Orange4Safety

In 2022, there were 3,308 lives lost in crashes involving distracted drivers — that's 3,308 too many.

Two hands on the wheel. Eyes on the road. All. The. Time.

[Michigan State Police @MichStatePolice]

#TuesdayTip: April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month. If you need to make a call while driving, Michigan law requires that you use a hands-free device such as Bluetooth or voice commands to keep your hands on the wheel.

[nhtsagov @NHTSAgov]

JUST IN: Newly released data shows there were 716 fewer people killed in motor vehicle traffic crashes on U.S. roadways during 2022. ⬇️📉

While it's an improvement from 2021, we still have a long way to go.

Drive Safely. Always. No Matter What.

Michigan pickup drivers have the lowest rate of seat belt use. You wouldn't drive with valuable items unsecured. Aren't you valuable? Buckle up, Michigan! Learn more at https://t.co/fF2Q26pHW2
