HD 1011 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to certain motorcycle travel

This bill allows motorcycle riders in Massachusetts to use the right breakdown lane, left access lane, or split lanes under specific conditions. It permits this when two or more lanes are moving at 10 mph or slower, with riders limited to 25 mph and required to yield to disabled or emergency vehicles already in those lanes. The law directly affects motorcycle operators navigating slow-moving traffic on multi-lane roads. The provision expires 18 months after enactment, as specified in the bill's sunset clause.
