Motorcyclists may have to pay toll

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 — Putrajaya is considering toll charges for motorcyclists nationwide and studying the feasibility of constructing bike lanes on highways.
Nanyang Siang Pau quoted Works Minister Datuk Fadillah Yusof as saying that a special committee would study the proposal.
He said only a few highways nationwide had bike lanes.
“We will also study the feasibility of restricting the types of motorcycles that can use the highway based on their engine capacity.
“We will also study the width of the dedicated lanes to ensure they accommodate motorcycles of various sizes.”
He said the ministry would only make a decision after the committee completes the study.
Fadillah said at present toll charges were not determined according to engine capacity but based on the class or type of vehicle.
“High-powered motorcycles are exempted from toll charges because they fall under the category of two-wheeled vehicles,” he said, adding that motorcyclists had to pay toll at the Malaysia-Singapore Second Link Expressway (Tanjung Kupang Toll Plaza), as well as the Penang Bridge.-YAHOO NEWS-
