Arizona Bike Week cruises into Scottsdale with a focus on safety

Arizona Bike Week is returning to Scottsdale from April 2-6, 2025, promising excitement for motorcycle enthusiasts with concerts, vendors, and group rides. In conjunction with this event, Mayor Lisa Borowsky has declared April as "Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month," emphasizing the city's dedication to ensuring safe road conditions for all users. The Scottsdale Police Department is actively engaging with the biking community to promote awareness of motorcycle laws and road safety practices. A key focus is on Arizona's lane filtering law, which allows motorcyclists to maneuver between stopped vehicles under certain conditions, stressing the importance of compliance to avoid accidents. Furthermore, the police are promoting the “Look Twice, Save a Life” initiative, urging drivers to exercise greater caution with the increased presence of motorcycles.

Both motorcyclists and other drivers are provided with practical safety tips to enhance road safety, including wearing protective gear and avoiding distractions while driving. The collaboration between event organizers, city officials, and law enforcement aims to create a safer experience for all participants. This proactive approach reflects a commitment to fostering a culture of safety during one of the Southwest's largest motorcycle events.
