Section 13.02.427. Driving motorcycles and motor-driven cycles on roadways laned for traffic.


Latest version.
  • 	(a)  Motorcycles and motor-driven cycles may be driven upon a lane of a roadway, and no motor vehicle may be driven so as to deprive a motorcycle or motor-driven cycle of the full use of a lane. This provision does not apply to motorcycles or motor-driven cycles driven two abreast in a single lane by consent of both drivers; however, no motorcycles or motor-driven cycles may be driven more than two abreast in a single lane.  
    	(b)  No driver of a motorcycle or motor-driven cycle may overtake and pass another vehicle in the same lane occupied by the vehicle being overtaken. A driver of a motorcycle or motor-driven cycle may not drive between adjacent lanes or lines of traffic, or between adjacent lines or rows of vehicles.  
    	(c)  The provisions of this section do not apply to police officers in the performance of their official duties; however, this exception does not relieve the driver of a police vehicle from the duty to drive with regard for the safety of all persons.
