I think the governor vetoing this bill was a good idea. I would prefer that they not be allowed to pass cars and stay with the flow of traffic.

As a motor cyclist, cutting between cars (don't care what they call it, it is still cutting) is dangerous at best and deadly at worst.

It is so unsafe for motorcyclist to drive between cars, we can barely see them as is. They should follow the same motor vehicle laws that all cars do.

Sheri Clarke

Motorists and motorcyclists don't follow the rules now!

I am a motorcycle rider and I never thought I would agree with Kate Brown about anything, but Cutting lanes is foolish at best and deadly at its worst. I remember guys seeing a motorcycle cutting lanes years ago and open their car door to stop them, it makes people angry! Great reason for road rage

Douglas Buchanan

As a rider i've seen too many close calls when other motorist aren't paying attention so in my opinion allowing this is not safe for anyone.

Lynn Huntley

Why should motorcyclists have special rules? Follow the rules of the road like everyone else is supposed to. Too risky to themselves and others.

Sussie Due

I have seen too many motorcycle vrs car accidents this way. Cars not paying attention and turning into them.

Sussie Due

I wish they had an edit button. I meant to say too many DRIVERS not paying attention, not cars.

I think the governor's veto should be override because it improves rider safety and reduces congestion if they're allowed to pass.

People who have NEVER rode a motorcycle seem to have an opinion about something they know NOTHING about. I can't believe how many non-motorcyclist think it's about being in a hurry or saving time. IT'S NOT! IT'S ABOUT SAFETY FOR THE PERSON ON THE MOTORCYCLE!

We riders need this because most of us have air cooled engines. We need to keep moving to cool our engines. Carl

I am glad that we were Blue over all on the West coast. Those flyover states have too much say.

I prefer metering to increasing the number of lanes. More than one lane makes roundabouts much more dangerous to navigate, especially with drivers who are not locals and do not understand how roundabouts work. 2 lanes = many more accidents plus 2 lanes need to be a much larger diameter for safety.

If it weren’t so maddening, our City counselors would make for a cast in a Monty Python show. They befuddle themselves with ludicrous ideas and foist them onto the taxpayers. Bend is becoming a laughing stock to outsiders and a source of continual angst for the residents.

SUE ABERNATHY

Isn't that why they put the round about in because stop lights were going to cost to much????? Just saying.

sara kreps

doesn't this defeat the purpose of a roundabout? might as well make it a regular intersection with lights.

Dave Krajczynski

If people used the roundabout correctly and actually filled in the gaps and went when there was an opening it would flow just fine. People wait for a bus sized gap before they go.

Jeff Sanders

The people coming from the Old Mill Never Cease coming. Traffic is backed up to Bill Healy bridge everyday. At least in the winter.

Kathy Brown

Make a LARGER round-about!! A stop light will only make it worse!!

Chris Gonzales

A roundabout's primary purpose in traffic management is to improve safety and traffic flow, resulting in less congestion and fewer accidents compared to traditional stoplight intersections. Key words: Flow, less congestion and Stoplights. Now they want to add Stoplights!!! City waste at its Best!

Latterdaysaint

The point of the roundabouts was to get rid of lights

Fletcher Jackson

What's the point of having a light at a roundabout? The point of a roundabout is to get rid of the lights. Widen it and start growing for the people coming here. The way bend builds, everything is obsolete by the time it's done.

Tim Walker

I drive through this around about several times everyday and it is never an issue very rarely. Is it an issue? The reason they put roundabouts in for the first place was to get rid of stop lights and stop signs
