YES!!  OK..so how long before a bill becomes a law?!   

I want to say the bill stated the start date was the beginning of 2011.

I think we'll need a few months for practice.  Just to let the cagers get used to this too.

IZ! That's one of my favorites!

Mr.Robber, I thought it started Dec 2010 and ended Dec 2011?
I'll have to go check it out again. (one year is so not enough time. so short sighted....)
Hope she signs it!

you guys think it will trickle down to Tucson too? (legally or illegally just overlooked)

Not sure if I'm reading your question correctly, but hopefully this will answer for you:
It's a state-wide bill. So happy lane-splitting to you!  [moto]

Oh, i Thought it was just maricopa county. Yes that clears it up for me

It's a state wide bill, but it only applies to counties with >2,000,000 people.

So, not Tuscon, then? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuscon,_AZ
That's lame.

Which brings me back to....you think  will turn a blind eye down in Tucson?

Anyone know if this bill was passed?

Don't know if it's truly legal yet but I have seen several, at least one every other day, using the strip next to the HOV lanes on the 10. The afternoon rush hour traffic moves around 10-15 mph near the airport to the Broadway/60. Riders are seen just rolling thru.  Haven't seen a bike stopped either and there's a ton of lawmen around at that time.

I put in a quick call to the Phoenix PD asking about the status of the 'law' and before I even finished asking the officer on the phone immediately cut me off and told me that "it will never be a law in Arizona because it's too dangerous" - now that doesn't sound like an educated answer, but that's what I was able to find out. 

 

Nuts to them.

You should try calling your local, state legislator. They would know.

.... I'm out of town or I'd do it myself. 

Personally I don't have the huevos to  lane split here in the valley. It's hard enough getting around in my truck while going with the flow and staying in my lane and now with the snowbirds in town.. ......
