The Michigan Department of Transportation is launching the "Share the Road" campaign to promote safety during National Bike Month.
The state is reminding drivers to stay alert, share the road safely and be aware of all roadway users, including bicyclists.

Center line rumble strips are a proven safety measure that can help reduce the risk of head-on collisions, injuries and can save lives, according to MDOT.
Rumble strips noise can also discourage some drivers from passing a bicyclist at a safe distance.
A 30-second video safety message posted on MDOT's YouTube channel shows how to safely pass a bicyclist and how to share the road responsibly.
Spring and summer months increase the use of roads by bike riders.
MDOT is encouraging everyone to make safety a top priority.
May is National Bike Month and Bike to Work Week is May 14-18.
State Transportation Director Kirk Steudle said MDOT is joining forces with other transportation agencies to raise awareness and spread the safety message: "Give 'em space, make it safe, please share the road."
