Only a few details remain before the ten mayors of Medellín’s Metropolitan Area sign the decrees formally prohibiting male passengers on motorcycles, a measure that will be in effect between November 30^th of this year until the same day next year, possibly extended after results are analyzed. Violators will be fined 284,400 pesos and only emergency responders are excluded from the restriction.

Many drivers of motorcycles are upset over the measure and feel the effects will be inconvenient as well as expensive; others feel the added safety and sense of security are worth it, as many crimes are committed by male passengers on motorcycles.
