Ariz. bill would let motorcyclists weave through Phoenix traffic

News - Biker Rights Issues

The Arizona House is set Thursday to debate a proposal that would let motorcyclists stuck in stopped traffic in Maricopa County weave through traffic.

Currently, Arizona law prohibits motorcyclists from passing a vehicle in the same lane occupied by that vehicle.

The bill would let motorcyclists operate their bikes between lanes when they are stuck in traffic.

If it becomes law, the proposal would apply to only Maricopa County and be in effect in only 2011.

The bill, sponsored by Republican Rep. Jerry Weiers of Glendale, has cleared two committees in the House.
