The ring roads and highways of major cities have their own rules and code of conduct. They should not be approached normally.
For example, the E 311 alone holds several records, with its 140 km and thousands of vehicles per day.
The first rule, which is the one and only one allowing to survive a passage on the ring road, is contained in the code: imagine that the motorcycle is a car and takes the place of a car. In short, stay in your lane (if possible the third one: neither the slowest nor the fastest) and at the same rhythm as the traffic flow. Don’t forget that riding between the lines of cars is forbidden by the highway code, including for motorcycles.
In addition to these specific peripheral tips, there are standard driving tips that need to be amplified and that can become even more important than usual:
- Adapt your driving to the weather ( fog, rain, sandstorm…),
- Have a motorcycle in perfect condition: brakes, lights, indicators, mirrors, horn…
- Have a good driving position, look far away, ready to brake or make an avoidance,
- Do not take risks (such as driving between lanes)
- Do not drive when you are tired, sick, not in shape: reflexes are reduced.
