Roads like Ortega Highway typically feature a blend of passenger cars and motorcycles moving at different speeds. In areas around Lake Elsinore, these routes link communities and recreational spots, potentially boosting traffic volumes at peak times of day. Motorcycles, being smaller and less conspicuous than bigger vehicles, can be tougher for drivers to spot on congested or curvy roads.
