Petition for bike use of bus lanes...

Post by Dave »

A petition has been generated for a worthwhile cause.
In my view the wording is not the best, but the intention is great.

I am guessing by the location of those signing this petition that it may have been generated by someone in our big city or shire

Petition text:
Petition Allow motorcycles to use ALL bus lanes.
Bikes take up less space than most other road users and therefore aren't seen as readily and are at greater risk of personal injury.
We are legally allowed to filter past the queuing traffic and get to the front, this way would help make it even safer without affecting the buses and taxis.
