Should be avoided at all times.

Usually provides adequate traction for riding, unless it is raining.

Should only be traveled upon if you are sharing the lane with another vehicle.

While the center strip of the road can be oily, it usually provides enough traction for safe riding, unless it is raining. The oily strip is usually no more than two feet wide, so motorcyclists can generally ride on either side of the strip and still be in the center portion of the lane.

21. When approaching a blind intersection, you should:

Move into the portion of the lane that will bring you into another driver’s field of vision at the earliest possible moment.
