Bicycle or motorcycle lanes on the streets --- do you have these in your areas?

Hi moneymakingtoday! We do have bicycle lanes here in Osaka. It seems that there are a lot of people rides bicycles everyday in Japan. Bicycles are one of the main methods of transportation here. You can see bicycle lanes even in main streets and also bicycle parks. Though some of the bicycle parks have parking fees. Happy mylotting!

Hi moneymaking! you and i are from the same place, how i wish these bicycles and motorcycles have their own lane in the streets. They are so annoying and they are so brave to cut your way in the streets and big highways. I heard from the news that there is a survey on how many motorcycle accidents there are in a month in Manila and the survey revealed that there are 300 to 400 motorcycle accidents. This means that there are 10 or more accidents of this type a day. But despite of this, they are still not afraid of criss-crossing the highway with the cars and other big vehicles. They don't also follow traffic rules as if they own the road. I hope our government will take action on this. They have to penalize them also for traffic violation to give them a lesson. Special lane is really necessary.

You are right when you say that most accidents that happen on the streets involve motorcycles and bicycles. I live in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India and we do not have seperate lanes for biks and bicycles.

In the area where we live, there are some roads that have a bicycle lane, but there are far more roads that do not have a bicycle lane. I'm quite thankful that there is a bicycle lane on the main road that my husband has to travel to and from work because when the weather is nice outside, then he will ride his bike to and from work. He modified his bicycle last year so that it has an engine on it, it is now a pedal assisted bicycle. If there wasn't the bicycle lane on that road then I really wouldn't feel comfortable about him riding his bicycle as often as he does.

yes, because of the increase of accident in my country, more and more new road or reconstructed road started to have the motorcycle lanes in th main street since motorcycles are the big part of my country, malaysia, transportation. still, the number of motorcycle accident never really drops much! we even imposed so many laws trying to keep motorcycles safe on the road...but the riders were care muh about their life!

..Here in our area (Philippines), we dont have that motorcycle lane.. But having different lane for motorcycles and bikes will be better to avoid accident just like what you have said.. I already saw a lane for motorcycle like you said is on netherlands, and it lessen the accident.

We have them in some places but only for bicycles There are a few Places that have them but not everywhere which I agree they should have Also People on Bicycles should where light Clothes at Night as a few times I have just seen them in the last Minute no lights and black Clothes

I live on the edge of a coastal town. There are many cycle routes for bikes and the paths are shared with people that are walking along. On some roads there are special lanes for cyclists. One of my friends goes on her bike and has her daughter in a trailer behind her. I am not able to cycle very often because I have a disabled son and a baby girl. I used to do cycling every day. I cycled to work along country lanes and a cycle path. I had to cycle up some huge hills. It got me really fit and healthy. I used to cycle to the supermarket and come home with all my food in the panniers. My bike now sits in my shed. I didn't use to have anywhere to store my bike. I used to live in a grade II listed cottage and I wasn't allowed to erect a shed in my garden there. I used to put my bike just inside my front door. I developed a love for cycling when I studied and lived in the Netherlands. It is the best country in the world for cycling. It has special cyclist paths all over the place. Motorists in the Netherlands respect safety for all cyclists.

Here the motorcycles were prohibited a few years ago. So there are no motorcycles here any more. So only the bicycle lanes are available. Besides it, the road are for the cars. I love China

A few streets in our town have a special lane or path for bicycles only that no motorized vehicle is allowed to use, not even a Sedgeway or those vehicles that look like a child's scooter but have a motor. All motorized vehicles must ride with the traffic and obey all rules of the road.

I wish there would be a bicycle/motorcycle lane on our streets here. It is very dangerous to have them in front of you or around you because they hardly show that they signal to where they are turning and most of the time they just turn whenever they feel like it. Thus, it becomes a big percentage on our country accidents with motorcycles because of lack of their own lane here.

No we do not have motorcycle or bicycle lanes in the town I live in. Now there are a few cities about 35 miles away that we go to once in awhile and some of there streets have motorcycle and bicycles lanes I have not seen anyone use them when we are there.

In my country there is no such areas. Ever hear about the government's program on reducing motorcycle accident rates, such as a separate line for motorcycles, but until now not be realized. If there is, perhaps the accident rate could be suppressed, in addition also the need for discipline, manners of behavior in driving, knowledge of signs, traffic, and driving skills of motorcycle users in driving the vehicle. Because accidents happen, usually the result of driver behavior itself, thus causing the accident to himself and others.

I live in a small area most people here is about under 2000 people at least. for each of the small towns around me also are about the same. there are no lanes for these types of vehicles in my area. there should be lanes like that for those types of vehicles. they would have to make more space to make these special lanes. we do have a rail trail its called. its for non motor vehicles and it is really long goes through about six and maybe more towns. they have it paved and well maintained when I was young it was not paved.

We don't have special lanes for motorcycles where I live but we do have Bike Lanes in some areas. I live in Florida and a lot of people ride motorcycles on our roads and highways. They are subject to the same traffic laws as everyone else and will be pulled over for unsafe driving.

In my hometown there were no such things like bicycle nor motorcycle lanes, the motorcyclist and bicyclist are on the street sometimes taking the fast lane and it was really dangerous. Sometimes they were speeding up between cars on the crowded street and that is true what you said that there are lots of accidents on the street because of that. But in the city I am living now, the government started to make a street regulation to keep everybody safe. In some main streets they have already implement this regulation so that there is a lane just for cyclist. I hope we can reduce the rate of accidents in the street this way.

No we don't have any special lanes for them unless they are having some kind of marathon they will close the streets for them and I am okay with that it is just when they know it is heavy traffic time and there are sidewalks next to the street and they would rather ride in the street. I just worry about them getting hurt or causing an accident because there are some crazy drivers that just don't care and cuss at them rather than take the time to slow down and not hurt them or themselves.

Hello friend, Actually,everytime i saw those bikers speeding up and overtaking bigger vehicles on the road it gives me creepy feelings. I really wish our government will ever give lanes for those bikers and cyclist for a safer road to every motorists. Have a good day my friend..nice topic

UNFORTUNTELY not. Here in my country they do not have the patients for anyone with bicycles or motorcycles on our roads. It would be nice for every government who doesn't have them already, put up lanes for these worthy travelers. It is probaly there only transport, so make their journeys safe as well. But now i have to remember if they do not get anything out of it, they will most probably not even consider it. All i can ask these cyclists and bikers, beware, keep your eyes open and be safe.
