According to Oregon law, how many motorcycles can occupy a single lane?

• A. One
• B. Two motorcycles can ride two abreast
• C. Three
• D. Unlimited

Answer: (B)

Two motorcycles can ride side by side in a single lane. This arrangement is allowed by Oregon law to let riders share the lane with a partner rather than travel in a strict single-file line, which helps with visibility and spacing while keeping the riding within the lane width. The rule limits it to two because allowing more than two would crowd the lane and create safety risks for riders and other traffic. If traffic or road width makes it unsafe to ride abreast, motorcycles should fall back to single-file within the same lane.
