HOV Lane Petition - Yamaha FZ6R Forums - International FZ6R / XJ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

Hey guys please send a message to the Minister of Transportation to allow motorcycle's on the HOV lane.

City of Toronto currently allows them and in the US it's recommended by FED government.

Feedback Form: Minister of Transportation

I agree. I take the HOV lane here in Houston every morning and it cuts my commute from 1 hr to 20 mins.

I love the HOV lane!

But there is one in my area that is ONLY 3+ people in a car and says nothing about morotcycles.. All others say 2+ in a car and motorcycles OK

None of the HOV lanes in the Ottawa/Gatineau area say bikes are allowed. It's more likely to happen in the Gatineau (Quebec) side of things, as scooters are in abundance.. (I believe you can ride them when you are 14+, not 100% sure).

Ottawa is generally quite anti-motorbikes...

Has anyone been pulled over on the Bay street HOV lane in Toronto? The sign doesn't show motorcycles.

HOV lane definately ROCKS!!

I use it everday for commuting on the bike, rush hour is so much easier!!

Arizona is also testing a pilot program for Hybrid vehicles to use the HOV lane with one person aboard.

I love the HOV lane. Fortunately I have HOV on/off ramps from home to work and back! Never have to ride in the standard lanes.

California has let hybrids in the carpool/HOV lanes for a while now, but is set to end this December, unless they pass new legislation. DMV give you stickers that are places on the bumpers around the car to identify it as a vehicle qualified to be allowed in the carpool lane with one occupant.
