What should you do to help other roadway users see you better?

Using the whole width of the lane is a significant strategy for improving visibility to other roadway users. By positioning yourself throughout the entirety of the lane, you increase your chances of being seen by drivers, especially those turning or changing lanes. This technique also helps you avoid obstacles in the road and maintain a safe distance from parked cars, which could suddenly open a door or present hazards.

Utilizing the entire lane width also allows you to position yourself in a more advantageous spot where you are more visible, especially when vehicles approach from behind or from intersections. It encourages better visibility for both you and the other drivers, ultimately enhancing safety on the road.

In contrast, traveling only in the center of the lane could limit your visibility to others and may make it harder for drivers to see you, particularly if they don't expect to see a motorcycle in that position. Wearing dark clothing, for instance, can significantly decrease your visibility, especially at dusk or night. Hovering close to parked cars increases the risk of collision as it puts you in a spot where drivers might not see you or where you may be at risk of being hit by car doors that open unexpectedly.
