(As Introduced)
Reps. Letson and Slesnick, Harris, Mallory, Dodd, Winburn, Yuko, Skindell
BILL SUMMARY
· Permits the operator of a motorcycle to back the motorcycle into an angled parking space.
CONTENT AND OPERATION
Current law regulates the parking of motor vehicles on public streets and highways. For example, every vehicle that is stopped or parked upon a roadway where there is an adjacent curb must be stopped or parked with the right-hand wheels of the vehicle parallel with and not more than 12 inches from the right-hand curb, if possible. Local authorities may permit angle parking on any roadway under their jurisdiction, except that angle parking is not permitted on a state route within a municipal corporation unless an unoccupied roadway width of not less than 25 feet is available for free-moving traffic. (R.C. 4511.69(A).)
Current law also prohibits any vehicle or trackless trolley from being stopped or parked on a road or highway with the vehicle or trackless trolley facing in a direction other than the direction of travel on that side of the road or highway. The bill permits the operator of a motorcycle to back the motorcycle into an angled parking space so that when it is parked it is facing in a direction other than the direction of travel on the side of the road or highway. (R.C. 4511.69(C).)
