PDRM: Motorcycle Lanes Must Be Used At All Times

Where available, motorcyclists must make use of the designated motorcycle lanes or face the consequences, according to Petaling district police chief ACP Mohamad Fakhruddin Abdul Hamid.

The persistence of motorcyclists ignoring this has spurred the officer to make the statement, particularly with reference to the stretch of the Federal Highway that links Klang and Kuala Lumpur between kilometre 16 and 34.

He cites Section 79 (2) of the Road Transport Act of 1987, which places the failure to use a motorcycle lane as a chargeable offence, noting the 193 summonses issued recently to bikers found in violation,

Officers have also noticed, he adds, that many were found to be using the entries and exits at toll booths to bypass the motorcycle lane while reminding us of the danger brought on by these actions, affecting both motorcyclists and other road users.
