Use highly visible and consistent signage to warn riders of upcoming construction or maintenance activities, lane closures, and changes in road conditions. Use motorcycle specific signing when milling results in grooved pavement surfaces. Signs should be placed well in advance of the work zone to give riders ample time to react. 

Ensure smooth transitions between existing pavement and new surfaces or patches. Avoid creating sudden drop-offs or raised edges that can be hazardous for motorcycles.  Minimize drop-off heights between travel lanes as they can be particularly hazardous for two-wheeled vehicles, especially when paired with smaller tires such as scooters. 

When encountering utility structures, i.e., manhole covers, hand holes, or gate valves, in the pavement, adjust the vertical height where possible to minimize the “dips” or “bumps” to prevent hazardous conditions.  If height adjustment is not possible, ensure a smooth temporary transition to the surrounding surface.  

Use appropriate surface treatments for temporary or permanent repairs. Avoid using materials that can be slippery or create uneven surfaces, especially in wet conditions. 

Maintain clear lane markings and delineation throughout the work zone to guide riders safely through the area. When removing existing pavement markings, minimize the depth of marking removal to prevent hazardous conditions.  Use motorcycle specific signing when milling results in uneven pavement surfaces. Use reflective materials to enhance visibility, especially at night.
