A method for improving safety for the rider on a bicycle or electric scooter by fitting it with a device capable of receiving a signal that indicates a potentially dangerous location is near. A computer program determines the current location of the bicycle or scooter, whether it is moving, if there is a signal indicative of a potentially dangerous location, and if the bicycle or electric scooter is within a predetermined distance from the potentially dangerous location, whereupon it sounds an alarm. The potentially dangerous location can be a traffic light, a school zone, a railway crossing, a stop sign, a yield sign, or a bridge. In a particular embodiment, the device is a wireless communication device having an active voice mode. The program must determine that wireless communication device is in an active voice mode before sounding the alarm.
