Can motorcycles be ridden on highways?

Yes, motorcycles can be ridden on highways, provided they meet safety and regulatory requirements. This includes having functioning lights, signals, brakes, and meeting any specific state regulations concerning motorcycle operation. In Utah, as well as in many other states, motorcycles are permitted on highways because they are classified as motor vehicles. However, riders must ensure their motorcycle is properly registered, insured, and maintained to comply with the law.

The other options suggest restrictions not typically applicable to motorcycles. For instance, the idea that motorcycles are universally prohibited on all highways is inaccurate, as they are legal to operate on most highways as long as they meet the necessary safety standards. Riding only during the daytime or requiring accompaniment by a car does not reflect any standard regulations in Utah. Thus, understanding the legal requirements and safety measures allows for safe and lawful operation of motorcycles on highways.
