What the Oregon Motorcycle & Moped Manual says about street strategies

  • Sipde

    Oregon teaches SIPDE, a five-step process for good judgments in traffic: Scan, Identify, Predict, Decide, Execute. p. 25

  • Multiple Hazards and High-Risk Areas

    When you face several hazards at once, adjust your speed to let them separate and deal with them one at a time. p. 26

  • Intersections

    Intersections hold the greatest risk of multi-vehicle collisions. p. 26

  • Traffic Signals: Sensors

    Many traffic signals are triggered by inductive loops buried under the pavement, which you can find by the tar-filled cuts. p. 27

  • Passing and Being Passed: Oregon Law

    Motorcycle and moped riders follow the same passing rules as car drivers. p. 30

  • Lane Sharing

    Sharing a lane with a car while passing it ('lane splitting') isn't legal in Oregon, and riding between rows of stopped or moving vehicles is illegal and dangerous. p. 31
