I strongly oppose this proposal. We drive with our two children and use HOV lanes occasionally. These lanes are tricky to get into and out of as it is. Some people also treat them like a "no speed limits" or "autobahn" lanes as the HOV lanes are to the left of the regular passing lanes.

This is a great idea and well overdue! Why make motorcycles wait in traffic when they could be moving quickly and easily out of the way? It's also safer for the riders so they don't get hit from behind while waiting in a traffic queue.

I think allowing motorcycle on the HOV lane would be a good idea for Ontario since motorcycles are more efficient in terms of both space and fuel consumption.
I support motorcycles on the HOV lane.
I previously submitted comments and have another:
5. We are MUCH less wear and tear on the road, therefore, transportation such as this should be encouraged. One way to do this is by rewarding with certain privileges such as a more efficient lane for usage.

I truly believe this is a step in a good direction for the safety of all motorists. Not because a single motorcycle rider will be able to skip queue in traffic.

I would appreciate being able to use the HOV lane, as a motorcycle rider, as it would be the safest lane to be in when the option is available. With only one side of the lane exposed to incoming traffic, it removes a considerable amount of danger while operating a motorcycle on the highway.

Most importantly allowing single occupancy motorcycles in the HOV lanes is much safer for the motorcyclist and why it is permitted in most other jurisdictions. It also makes sense for traffic flow as motorcycles are often not expected in traffic by automobile drivers which throws them off.

This will be great, keeping motorcycles safe away from bumper to bumper traffic, where lots of riders have been killed by texters pinning them from behind into the car in front.
Motorcycles will also stop zipping in and out of lanes to get ahead, hov lanes will allow that convenience.
This is a fantastic idea! Motorcyclists are vulnerable road users, and being rear ended by a car in stop and go traffic is a real concern.
They take up less space, use less gas and ultimately leave more parking for cars at their destination.

Anything to encourage more motorcycle use and helps to reduce traffic should be considered. In this instance we would allow motorcycles in HOV lanes like other parts of the world, like some states or England.
