Why is it okay for motorcyclists to ride in the center of the lane?
Grease strips are usually no more than two feet wide. Since the center portion of the lane is four feet wide, you can operate to the left or right of the grease strip and still be within the center portion. Unless the road is wet with rain, the average grease strip gives just as much traction as the rest of the pavement. Of course, big buildups of grease—as may be found at very busy intersections or toll booths—should be avoided.
