URGENT - the Motorcycle Lobby Team needs your help in finding any and all restricted Left Turn Lanes, at intersections that do NOT detect a motorcycle!!! We are in the process of building a case for possible legislation to allow a Left On Red for motorcycles, if we find there is a need for this in Arizona. abateofaz.org
ABATE of AZ. 7509 N. 12th St, #200 Phoenix, AZ 85020
- When you come upon an intersection that has this issue, you will need to do ALL of the following BEFORE contacting one of the Motorcycle Lobby Team members: 1 - Test it out more than once or twice to be sure it is a 'VALID' problem before we will contact Public Works.
We are currently working with many of the major Public Works Departments and will be contacting them to address each and every individual 'VALID' occurance, as we are made aware of with them. Here is what we need all of you to do:
2 - DO NOT just give us the coordinates of the intersection. We need Specifics. - Which direction N/S/E/W were you going, on which street and which direction N/S/E/W were you attempting to turn onto and the name of that street. - We will need the Dates & Timeframe of all occurrences, as video can work differently from night to day. - What is the name of the City the light is in. - If there are two left turn lanes, which one were you in, Left or Right. - If it was not a Left Turn but the Green Light failed to detect you, we need to know that as well. - You will need to provide us with your name and phone number in case we have any further questions on your reporting.
3 - If it only works once in awhile, we need to also know this.
- Once you have the information above, please contact any one of the following Motorcycle Lobby Team Members direct. Again, be sure to leave us with your name and contact information in case we have any more questions or the public works in your area needs to contact you themselves direct: Vic Grady - 602-300-4115 or hellfireguitarphxaz@hotmail.com Billy Larson - 623-308-0676 or larson_billy@hotmail.com Paul 'Skypilot' Price - 623-221-1895 or skypilotlrmc@earthlink.net Bobbi Hartmann - 602-672-3531 or bobbij2@earthlink.net Respectfully, The Motorcycle Lobby Team
