Motorway motorcycle lanes?

[Morcs]

Don't be silly - how we gonna balance on top of that little bit of concrete????

With the front wheel high in the air

Hey think about it guys....the system would work okay during peak traffic times and how often do you get a lot faster than 65kph during these times so maybe it is not as daft as it sounds..just needs a bit or thought as how and where......

every morning and every night.

[Grahameeboy]

every morning and every night.

So don't go in the lane then............

There are no lanes you moron.

Queer, child loving, tee total, animal raping hippies will never allow them

On the motorway I am talking about..............

[rainman]

A locall councillor and fellow biker has suggested that the shoulders of the motorway be converted to "GASP" Motorcyle lanes with a max limit of 65kph.

Who is this person and how can we best encourage him and his good ideas?

65'd be fine for me, I don't lane split much over 40 anyway. Less if it's raining.

Great Idea! However I think if a lane was created in the centre of the motorway(far right) this would solve the problem of getting wiped out by a vehicle using an off ramp. Wouldn't that be nice. Our own strip of motorway with no cars etc trying to kill us. More bikes More bikes more bikes!!!!

I don't think motorcyclists need or deserve our own lane.
I'd rather see continuous motorway bus lanes to encourage more drivers onto buses.

Also the left hand side of the road is where all the nails and shit congregate. I don't wanna ride there!

I don't wanna ride in a narrow lane next to that concrete wall either! You've seen all the black marks on them eh! Thats bumper rubber!

[oldrider]

I don't think this is for high-speed stuff, as evidenced by the 65kph speed limit. This is for when the traffic is crawling or at a standstill and nearly all bikes start lane-splitting. Perhaps just a safer and more legal version of lane-splitting.

And when everything else is winging along at 100kph in light traffic bikes will be restricted to their owns lane and the 65kph speed limit...yeah right!

That's one way of capturing bike riders and controlling them! John.

Well said all up. If there was a priority lane on the North western and the Southern, much like the Northern, then the clever car-poolers could share with us and the buses. And if even that lane fills up, then we can always split.

Come to think of it, why not add lane splitting into the road code in pure black and white, something like "Motorcycles and Moped may overtake vehicles on the left, providing a speed limit of 50 km/hr is observed"

Don't be so facetious!

[Blue Thunder]

The article suggests utilising existing shoulders not the creation of a brand new lane, yes the same lane as used by the buses!

Bluethunder rides a C90 Boulavard, do you think he can ride between cars on that beast? That little white highway is for us skinny types.

Wondering how long it would take before you or Donor made reference to the width of my rear end Just for the record I can in fact get through on the skinny white highway but need to pick my gaps carefully!
