A thorough study spanning ten years has uncovered notable trends in motorcycle safety across major US cities. Remarkably, Chicago has emerged with one of the lowest rates of motorcycle deaths, reporting only 6.05 fatalities per 100,000 people.
This places Chicago at the forefront of motorcycle safety, making it one of the top 10 cities in the United States with the lowest fatality rates. For the local motorcyclist community, this news is reassuring.
Popular routes like Lake Shore Drive, with its scenic views of Lake Michigan and the legendary Route 66, continue to attract riders who can feel more secure exploring the city.
This study, conducted by Forbes Advisor from 2011 to 2021, used data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The key metric was motorcycle fatalities per 100,000 residents, providing a relative measure of safety across different cities.
Among the cities with the lowest motorcycle fatalities per 100,000 residents over the past decade are:
Frisco, TX: 3.95
Laredo, TX: 4.70
New York City: 4.74
Minneapolis, MN: 5.36
St. Paul, MN: 5.47
Chicago, IL: 6.05
Jersey City, NJ: 6.17
Madison, WI: 6.32
Boston, MA: 6.53
Washington, DC: 7.54
Chicago's impressive rate of 6.05 motorcycle fatalities per 100,000 residents over the past decade reflects significant achievements in motorcycle safety.
Several initiatives have contributed to this success. In 2013, the Illinois Department of Transportation launched the “Gear Up-Ride Smart” campaign, promoting safe riding practices and the use of proper gear. Additionally, the "Start Seeing Motorcycles" campaign, introduced in 2021 by Governor JB Pritzker, aims to increase motorcyclist visibility and safety.
Chicago's relatively flat terrain also contributes to safer riding conditions, unlike hilly areas that present more challenging roads. The city’s designated motorcycle parking areas help reduce risks associated with parking and merging into traffic.
However, challenges remain. Between 2017 and 2020, motorcycle crashes in Chicago increased by 8.7%. Potholes and uneven pavement, common in urban areas, pose significant hazards for motorcyclists. Distracted driving also continues to be a major safety concern.
To enhance safety, motorcyclists should engage in continuous education and training. Programs like Ride Chicago offer essential skills for both new and experienced riders. Infrastructure improvements, like addressing potholes and strict enforcement of distracted driving laws, can further reduce accidents.
