motorcycle escort

Procession's wheeled protectors

A motorcycle escort is a group of motorcyclists—typically police officers—who accompany and protect a vehicle or procession, clearing traffic and ensuring safe passage.

Funeral processions, dignitaries, and oversized loads often receive motorcycle escorts.

The term also applies to the individual riders providing this service: Three motorcycle escorts led the presidential motorcade.
