At traffic lights, a motorcycle can disappear between larger vehicles, especially if the rider stops tight behind a car or near its rear corner. A visible position helps others understand where the motorcycle is.
A safe stopping rhythm means slowing down gradually, leaving reserve space and not assuming that other drivers will notice the motorcycle at the last moment.
SAAQ visibility guidance reminds riders to help others notice them as early as possible. At a traffic light, that work is done by lights, clear lane position and enough distance from the vehicle ahead.
In practice, stop where the motorcycle is not hidden, and check the surroundings before moving again. This simple routine reduces the chance that someone misses the bike while changing lanes or pulling away.
