PROVIDING FOR MOTORCYCLE LANES ON ALL MAIN ROADS AND

VIOLATION THEREOF, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Act aims to promote a more orderly flow of traffic and diminish the number 
of fatal accidents involving motorcycles by providing a single, specified lane for 
motorcycle riders.1
The Motorcycle Development Program Participants Association Inc. (MDPPA) 
estimates an upward trend on the use and sales of motorcycles. Many Filipinos now 
prefer motorcycles as their primary means of transportation since these vehicles prove 
to be more fuel and travel time-efficient than, if not all, most cars. Furthermore, many 
businesses have expanded their delivery services, further promoting growth in 
demand for motorcycles.2
