In the center of a traffic lane, there is usually an oily strip. Motorcyclists should:

Avoid riding on oil and grease buildup. Because the oily strip in the center of a lane is usually no more than two feet wide, it is often possible to stay to the left or right side of the oil and still be in the center portion of the lane.

• Avoid riding on the oil and grease buildup.
• Not worry about the oil and grease buildup.
• Search for the lane with the smallest amount of oil and grease buildup.
