The bill, headed to Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey's desk, is designed to protect motorcyclists who are often rear-ended at stop lights, advocates say.
Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services Don't be surprised if sometime this year a motorcycle pulls up next to your vehicle while you're stopped at a traffic light.
Michael Infanzon, who lobbies for motorcycle safety group ABATE — the American Brotherhood Aimed Toward Education — said it's not designed to ensure that motorcycle riders are the first ones to speed away from the intersection after the light turns green, though he acknowledged that is likely to be the result. Instead, he said, it's to keep riders from getting killed.
And the motorcyclist could move into that space between the vehicles at no faster than 15 miles an hour. Infanzon also said it is up to the motorcycle riders, having overtaken the stopped vehicles, to decide into which lane to go after the intersection. And in terms of merging back into traffic, he said it would be up to both the motorcycle riders and the car drivers"to have a little bit of courtesy."
