Motorcyclists in Maryland may be able to legally park two or more bikes per spot after the state legislature overwhelmingly approved House Bill 923 (voting 132-2) and Senate Bill 650 (46-0). The parking bill will prohibit local governments from restricting the number of motorcycles that can legally be parked in a metered parking space.

Current law allows local governments to restrict the number of motorcycles to two. Only some local governments limit motorcycle parking in this manner, but it can cause confusion and hardship for motorcycle riders who are unaware of the restrictions. This law would eliminate confusing and sporadic enforcement practices and make parking regulations for motorcycles uniform throughout the state, according to ABATE of Maryland.
