But from the sound of your post, it does upset you, at least as much as you think it upsets them.

Hey,"Baggsy" Happy to say it does not upset me. Whenever, I am on the bike nothing is ever allowed to upset me. As in real life. Positive thinking only. Like to be happy. Thanks for the caring.

Observe and report. Personal negative reaction generally only affects me, negatively.

I've seen A LOT more bikes in the HOV lane on the way to work in mornings on 403 than usual. Saw 3 today. 2 cars pulled over, but no bikes. Does the OPP just not care because within 2 weeks it may be legal and don't wanna waste their time?

Ask them! lol

I imagine a large majority of the community isn't aware of it being on the road to legal anyways.

They'd say its legal then ding me with a ticket LOL!

They might not have been briefed, so do you want to waste some time in court, or wait for the official announcement/signage? What's the risk worth to you?

Until it's officially changed, it's still illegal. YMMV.

Bill 107 (the get Ontario moving act) has passed the legislature and has received royal accent..
Getting Ontario Moving Act (Transportation Statute Law Amendment), 2019
But I can't find anything specific in the wording regarding motorcycles and HOV lanes.
are there some MTO rules and regulations not written in the specific act?

It's not in the HTA. It's here: Law Document English View

If there is a change, it would be in there.

Has anybody seen any signs going up. Hopefully, starting Monday. Happy Canada Day

I saw nothing Thursday riding from Burlington to markham... just a waiting game now - side note, I think they increased the Niagara stretch of the QEW speed limit too, but still no sign changes (or am I wrong about the increase?)

Thanks, "JFD"

Spoke to OPP in Burlington yesterday. This time I got a really nice guy. Not like the last OPP general phone number. Snooty nosed woman.
He is a civilian. However, he actually spoke to an OPP officer and said nobody has been issued any updates.

Who knows?

Not I. Have not seen any signs either.
Was also told if I was stopped I would get a ticket. Plus 3 points. ( OPP occifer)

Good news!
HOV and HOT access for single rider motorcycles is now listed on MOT web site

High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes

Learn about HOV lanes on provincial highways and how to use them.
