ANALYSIS : This resolution makes the following
legislative findings:
1. Motorcycle riding is a popular form of transportation
and recreation for more than one million people and uses
fewer resources, has less wear and tear on public
roadways, and increases available parking areas.
2. The safety hazards created by automobile operators who
have not been educated to watch for motorcyclists are of
prime concern to motorcyclists, and it is important that
drivers of all vehicles be aware of one another, learn
to share the road, and practice courtesy.
