    Technically speaking. Motorcycle do not need the full width. It is not uncommon to see them side by side in a single lane.

    If your bike max speed is 40kph, thats the slower side of car speeds so the roads could still be designed far differently for bikes.

      Legally and saftey wise, motorcycles absolutely need the full width of the lane.

      Some motorcyclists ride dangerously. Who knew?

      But the motorcyclists uses all 3 thirds of the lane for different purposes. Another vehicle should never enter their lane, for their safety. Same with bicyclists.
