Can you spot the difference? 🧐👀

A pedestrian crossing is not the same as a speed hump.

✅ Pedestrian crossings are usually marked by complete white parallel stripes on the road.
✅ They're also known as zebra crossings 🦓
✅ They can have a yellow sign showing a pair of legs.
✅ Cars must slow down and give pedestrians way.

Stuck in traffic and then you see this happen. Are motorcyclists allowed to do this? 🤔🏍️

It's called lane filtering, it's legal under certain conditions and reduces congestion for all road users.

✅ It lowers the risk of a motorcyclist being rear-ended by an inattentive driver in slow or congested traffic.
✅ Riders need to keep moving to help manage engine temperature and balance, so they are avoiding coming to a complete stop in congested traffic.
✅ Riders “taking off” after the light turns green is due to the faster vehicle acceleration of the motorcycle and they do this to avoid being struck from behind by a larger vehicle.
