The Natchez Trace Parkway is promoting motorcycle safety as part of the National Park Service’s “Different Road, Different Ride” campaign during Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month in May. The campaign is aimed at motorcyclists who are expected to hit the scenic southern byways as the warmer temperatures return.
“Different Road, Different Ride” is an initiative that emphasizes the unique safety considerations motorcyclists must take into account when riding on the parkway. The campaign encourages riders to adapt their riding techniques to the specific conditions of the Natchez Trace Parkway, which can vary greatly from other roadways.
The campaign underscores the importance of safe and responsible riding, with a focus on respecting speed limits, wearing suitable safety gear, and being aware of wildlife and other potential hazards on the parkway. The goal is to ensure that all motorcyclists can enjoy the scenic beauty of the Natchez Trace Parkway safely.
