At traffic lights and in slow traffic, a motorcyclist often sits close to cars, so visibility and spacing matter even more. Drivers are watching signals, lanes and pedestrians, and a motorcycle's smaller outline can disappear into the wider movement.
SAAQ safety guidance stresses that being seen is not only about lights, but also about road position. A rider who stops or moves where they remain visible in mirrors gives others more time to react.
When approaching a queue, it is worth keeping enough room to preserve an escape option if the vehicle behind arrives too quickly. A small reserve ahead and to the side can also matter if the car in front changes line suddenly.
It is also important not to disappear between cars when the light turns green. A smooth start, a clear direction and early signals help others read the rider's next move.
This kind of riding does not require complicated equipment. It is built from habits: check the lights, choose a visible lane position, keep a reserve and signal early enough to be useful.
